This review is from: What Is God Like? (Little Blessings) (Hardcover)

This book focuses on the questions little minds ask about God, and gives scriptures for the basis of each aspect of God that is given, so that when your toddler becomes a preschooler, you can have the references you need to answer tougher questions. It's a sweet and simple way to explain who and what God is to your toddler. Our children love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars What an adorable book!, December 23, 1999

Roxanne "Mom" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Is God Like? (Little Blessings) (Hardcover)

This is a very sweet book appropriate for children five and under who are just beginning to ask about God. It quickly became a favorite of my four year old son, although I found it somewhat uncomfortable having to read part of the book using my interpretation of the voice of God. I highly recommend it for parents who are comfortable taking a light hearted approach to their child's first encounter with religion. This book is very well written and has adorable, colorful illustrations for children to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answered the questions my 4 1/2 year old asked before., May 2, 2002

By 

gogomira (Egypt) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What Is God Like? (Little Blessings) (Hardcover)

My 4 1/2 year old girl had questions about God that I could not find simple words to answer. This book had all the biblical answers in a simplified way. There are a couple of pages that I wasn't quiet comfortable with so I skip them. What I liked most is that at the end of the book it gave the biblical reference for all the given answers. I sure recommend this book for all kids.
