4.0 out of 5 stars "DEDICATED TO ALL GOD'S HANDCRAFTED GIFTS... HIS CHILDREN", October 3, 2000

This review is from: Designed by God So I Must Be Special (Caucasian Version) (Hardcover)

DESIGNED BY GOD SO I MUST BE SPECIAL is a colorful, positive book that will truly make your child feel special and build his/her self confidence.

My daughter really loves the pictures and hearing about how God blessed her with so many gifts that we as adults may sometimes take for granted (our sense of sight, hearing, touching and smelling [taste was not included] and more.) This is really a 4 1/2 star book only because God's name is mentioned only on the cover, dedication page (above title) and the first page of the book. The rest of the pages start with "HE", however, this is easily remedied. When I read it to my daughter I just add "GOD" to each page and it works perfectly. In my opinion that is the only flaw in the book.

If I am running late putting my daughter to bed, I've found that the story is just as charming if I read only the first paragraph on each page (it has 3.) Also DESIGNED BY GOD SO I MUST BE SPECIAL is a great training tool to teach your child objects from the book. I say "where's the: flower, butterfly, cloud, dog, cat, bunny, frog, fish, rainbow, bird, bees, bed, bathtub, sun, tree," etc. and my daughter will search for the object and point to it.

I must include the last page of the book for you so you'll know what you are missing if you don't own this:

"HE GAVE ME MY SPIRIT SO THAT I COULD KNOW THAT HE'S ALWAYS BESIDE ME EVERY PLACE THAT I GO.

TO LOVE ME, PROTECT ME, TO SHOW ME THE WAY, TO BE THERE IN HARD TIMES AS WELL AS EACH DAY.

HE DESIGNED ME WITH SPECIAL TALENTS, GIFTS AND ABILITIES YOU SEE, WHICH LET ME KNOW THAT HE HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL IN MIND FOR ME."

I highly recommend this VERY SPECIAL book for home and the church library. You won't be disapppointed.

This review is from: Designed by God So I Must Be Special (Afro American Version) (Hardcover)

This was one of the very first books my now 3 year old daughter received when she was born. We have read it to her almost every night since. She loves it! Now she's pretty much memorized it. I buy it for everyone I know who is having a baby.

This review is from: Designed by God So I Must Be Special (Caucasian Version) (Hardcover)

My son LOVES the bright colors and all the items he can pointto. He was only a few months old when this book became one of hisfavorites because of the colors. I enjoy reading it to him because it reinforces how God has made him unique and special - a one of a kind.
