Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS?Extremely simple texts are illustrated with charming black-and-white photographs of multiethnic children engaged in activities indoors and outside. The youngsters are happy, loving, thoughtful, and reverent, showing their closeness to family and friends. Although they come from a Roman Catholic publisher, all four books could be used in any Christian setting as excellent introductory material to religious concepts. Imagine is a minimalist version of the seven days of Creation; Spirit is a sweet and exuberant celebration of the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Where Is God? gives some basic concepts of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, with Scripture citations for each. Yes, I Can! shows how the child can love God and transfer that love into everyday living. The sturdy, eye-appealing board-book format is perfect for preschoolers.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and not commercailly motivated., August 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Yes, I Can! (Walking with God Board Books) (Board book)

The pictures in this book are of children and that is what captivates my little one. It has short sentences, which are easy for a little child to sit and listen to. It has a great meesage about applying the ten commandments to everyday life and does not try to sell your child anything.
