Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Amy Warren Hilliker's Little One, God Loves You.

PreS. These two short, sweet board books do a fine job of bringing the idea of God into a very young child's life. "Little One, little do you know? / Do you know God loves you so?" Simple rhyming couplets like these give children the idea that they are cherished, that each person is a blessing to one's family, and that God's love is to be shared. The books are so short and similar they could have been combined, but the price is right, and for children age two and under, the brevity is a plus. The charming artwork resembles that of Helen Oxenbury and features a multiethnic cast of characters. Children will see themselves here. Ilene Cooper

4.0 out of 5 stars Never too early to start, February 28, 2005

This review is from: Little One, God Made You (PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE) (Purpose Driven Life, The) (Board book)

It's never too early to introduce your children to God. Also, about a previous post - Purpose Driven material was NEVER MARKETED. It became a #1 best seller all by word of mouth. Not to mention Rick Warren (the Purpose Driven author) has not changed his lifestyle due to his new wealth, no longer accepts a paycheck from his church, paid back all previous paychecks to his church, and is a very generous charity donor.

Anything Purpose Driven has a good Christian foundation. And like I said, it's never too early to introduce God/Christianity to your kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars At First I Wasn't Impressed, BUT..., March 9, 2007

By

This review is from: Little One, God Made You (PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE) (Purpose Driven Life, The) (Board book)

Written by Amy Warren Hilliker (daughter of Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life), Little One, God Made You is short and simple. The theme is that every child is a unique creation of God and that "God made you to love you, little one."

What I Like: The illustrations by Carol Thompson show babies and toddlers of various ethnicity playing, sleeping, cuddling...often with a parent. The illustrations are playful and colorful. The message will inspire good self-esteem and a loving feeling toward the Lord. The book is only 10 pages, which means even the youngest child should be able to sit through a reading


What I dislike: The text is in rhyme, but the rhyming isn't perfect in one spot. I also admit that when I first purchased this book for my daughter, I wasn't the least bit impressed. But my daughter really loves this title; she asks me to read it again and again...and now it's grown on me, too :)


Overall Rating: Very Good.


Age Appeal: 4 and under.

This review is from: Little One, God Made You (PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE) (Purpose Driven Life, The) (Board book)

My daughter and I love this book. She is adopted from China and I love how the pictures are of children of many different races. I think the reviewer that had negative comments had not read the book. It doesn't say anything about a baby's purpose in the book, it only says that God loves them and that they are very special from their "tiny nose" to their "squiggly toes". I am ordering 4 more to give as gifts.
