The Beginner's Bible Animal Adventures: A Board Book Collection
/
This cute little box o' books
was provided by Zonderkidz for me to review, and the four books have been requested - particularly by our little man, who loves animals of all kinds - many times this week. In the box, you'll find these books:
Rather than being true Bible stories, these would be more aptly described as based on Bible stories (sort of like "based on a true story"). As the titles above suggest, the stories are retold from the perspective of an animal. The facts from the Bible are still there and accurate, though, so I'm not uncomfortable with the retellings. The illustrations, like any other the rest of The Beginner's Bible series, are cute, and the language is richer than a lot of Christian kids' books (multiple uses of onomatopoeia, good use of dialogue). I'm not sure if the box will hold up to theabuse love of two children, but it isn't poorly constructed either.
I would recommend giving this set as a baby shower gift (because right now the set of four books is only $11.69 on Amazon, because the box gives a nice appearance to the set, and because I think every baby shower gift should include a book).
As I mentioned above, I received this for my review. Zonderkidz didn't ask or require anything other than an honest review. I'm a big fan of complementary copies of books, but only my appreciation - not my opinion - can be bought.
