Read and Share toddler Bible
This Bible covers a lot of the well known stories from the Bible from creation to Jesus' life. The stories are told in a way to keep smaller kids attention and give them the just of the story and the truth they can learn from it. My toddler adores her new Bible. I like that they also put where to find this story in the Bible. It also comes with a great dvd for the kids! I did really enjoy this Bible and am happy with it. Although I was slightly disappointed at how short the stories were. It was great for my 3 year old, but a little too young for my 5 year old (which was expected!) I do recommend this Bible, its not my favorite story Bible for children, but it does tell the stories well.

I believe bunny by Tish Rabe
I read this book to my children and absolutely loved it! The book starts out with a verse of scripture (great way to start a book!), "I can do all things through Christ who strenthens me", and then follows through with a great story that illistraits Gods faithfulness. It teaches the simple yet important lesson on having faith when you pray and you'll always get an answer. My kids adore this book and we've read it at least a dozen times and we've only had it 3 days lol. A great book for those with younger kids, I look forward to reading more from the I believe bunny series! Definately worth the investment!

The Wackiest Wildest Weirdest animals in the world, by Jack Hanna
I recieved this fun book today in the mail! my kids have loved it! they've already spent a couple of hours looking at the pictures (they're too young to read) and watching the dvd. This book is full of interest facts about animals that are common to animals that you've never heard of! There's lots to learn in this book, not only for the child who reads it but for the adult who reads it with their child. Is a great addition to the library of any child!

God's Little Princess Devotional Bible - Sheila Walsh
This Bible is absolutely perfect for the little princess in anyones life!! My daughters both love the gigi gods little princess movies so this was sure to be a big hit! It is a story bible so easily understood by my children (ages 3 & 5) and also has other great lessons, such as beauty tips. and a great section on acting out stories with your children! I highly recommend this book to any parent with small children (well girls, I'm sure boys won't be as thrilled with this book lol). Through out this Bible it really gets the story through that we are indeed all God's princesses (and princes too I guess lol)!

book review for Nelson's Illustrated Guide to Religions
This books covers many of the religions of the world from muslim to protestant religions and more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I am quite interested in other religions and trying to understand their beliefs. The author seemed to do quite well at putting this all together and getting the proper information out about the different religions, with out showing bias towards any of them. He was strat to the facts about each religion. I would have loved to have heard more about each of these religions, but I"m sure that would take each one having different books written for each to do that! This proved to be a great overview of each religion and would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about religions around the world!

book review for In the Footsteps of Paul
This book follows Paul through passages with pictures of what they believe are the areas that the Bible says certian events happened. The pictures are of great quality and very nice to look at. The only thing I had issue with is that pretty much every picture had, this might be where it happened or its possible that this happened here, etc.. Just seemed odd that a book stating that its taking you where paul went wouldn't have more certainty to where these events happened. That said I did enjoy the pictures as well as my children also enjoyed looking at the pictures. Not sure I'd pay much for it, but it was a good book over all!

Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure (DVD)
I have two small children (3 and 5 years old) So decided to give this video a shot to see what it was like. My children loved it! Its one of their new favorite movies! It teaches a valuable lesson on how God makes us all different and that doesn't mean that one person is better than another. God gives each of us our own gifts that are equally important. God uses the mosquito "Skeeter" To help find a valuable treasure that his "perfect" brother was looking for and needed help finding. Though skeeter isn't gifted with a good sense of direction and easily gets lost, and gets the team lost. God did bless him with an amazing sense of smell which he used to lead them to the lost treasure! I Recommend this book to anyone who has small children, its entertaining, teaches a great lesson on God doesn't make junk, and is one you can feel safe letting your children watch!
