Price: $14.99
ISBN:  978-0-7459-6398-3 

About the book:   Jesus took his message to all kinds of people in all kinds of places—from the shores of Lake Galilee to the bustling streets of Jerusalem. This book takes readers right into the world that he knew, with appealing illustrations and flaps that open to reveal all kinds of fascinating details. Brief text explains the setting, and references events and stories from Jesus' life.

Review:  This is a great book.  My children always enjoyed “lift-a-flap” books and we would read them over and over again.  My children are now grown, but my grand-daughter is no different.  This particular book covers the life of Jesus from birth to ministry to crucifixion to resurrection.  The short and simple descriptions give opportunity for further discussion about the life of Jesus.  The illustrations are colorful and very nicely done.  Although the target age of this book seems to be K5 and older, you can easily adapt to a younger children.

The book is only 16 pages long, but each page is detailed enough that you could treat each page as an individual book and spread the reading out over several days or for bedtime stories. It is also a hard-copy book and the pages are thick cardboard type material.

I highly recommend this book as a staple to your library for your children.  It is very good!! (rev. P.Howard)

About the book: Children will love this interactive new telling of the Noah's ark story. With fun, rhyming text, each spread asks kids to guess which animal is heading toward the ark. The answer is revealed under the cleverly designed flap. With eye-catching illustrations and easy-to-understand text, Guess Who Noah's Boat is sure to become a favorite.

Review: Fun!  Fun! Fun!  This is a great book for toddlers.  The artwork is very bright, colorful, and engaging.  It is easy to read and I’ve never met a child that did not enjoy “flap” books.  The flaps are very visible and easy for small hands to lift. 

Without doubt, this book will be a standard “go to” in any child’s library.  A good one for night-time story time. (reviewed by P.Howard)
