This review is from: God Loves You Very Much (Big Idea Books / VeggieTales) (Board book)

My four year old loves this book. He likes the look of the overall pages, the color, the veggies. He likes that the pages rhyme. All in all, you could not ask for a beeter book that explains how much God loves you. We do devotion time at our home each evening and this book works its way in almost everytime even though new books have been bought. I love it and I know that you and your family will also.

This review is from: God Loves You Very Much (Big Idea Books / VeggieTales) (Board book)

My son likes reading this book. He's 3. He's not crazy about the movies, but he likes the books and CDs. I think he likes this one because it really talks on a kid's level. I also think he likes looking at the "kid" artwork of the characters.

This review is from: God Loves You Very Much (Big Idea Books / VeggieTales) (Board book)

As a parent and Sunday School teacher, I have used this book over and over to communicate the simple message of God's love in a fun way. The author does a great job of communicating this and the illustrations are bright, colorful, and children are drawn to this book.
