Reading, Writing & Pondering

  My First Veggie Bible Stories is a great first Bible story book for those who enjoy VeggieTales. This book measures a little over six by seven inches in size and there are 24 pages. This book is aimed at children ages two to five but of course that can depend on the child either way. My First Veggie Bible Stories includes Bible stories from both the Old and the New Testaments. It would be good for early devotional times, be times or any other time the little ones want to read. The nice thing about the board books is that the thick pages make it easy for little ones to turn pages and look at books on their own. Each Bible story includes the Bible book and chapter where it is located in an actual Bible. Stories in this book include: Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, Queen Esther saves her people, Mary and the Birth of Jesus, The Good Samaritan, and Jesus is Alive. Each story includes VeggieTale illustrations and a brief children's condensed version of each story to give little o...

  Is your family a fan of VeggieTales? Mine is! Joy to the World from VeggieTales is a cute board book aimed at children ages two to five years old. This book is a good size for little hands to hold themselves at 20 pages long and measuring about six inches square. It is also a fun book to read aloud. It is a little silly as you might expect from a VeggieTales book, which makes it fun if you are Veggie fans. At the same time, there is a good message at the heart of Joy to the World about what the real meaning of Christmas is all about. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.

  Friends make up a very important part of our lives. I like I Can Be Your Friend from VeggieTales in so many ways! This book features all your favorite veggies and offers a lot of great advice on both having and being a good friend. I Can Be Your Friend is a fairly small board book measuring about six by six inches and is about twenty pages long. This is a great size for kids to hold themselves. Aimed at children under four years old, the board book pages are easy for that age to turn on their own. It would also be a fun book to read out loud with family or at Sunday School with the great rhyming verse and brightly colored-illustrations of the personified vegetables.  I Can Be Your Friend helps children learn that to be good friends we need to take turns, share, use kind words and forgive when others goof up. As a Veggietales fan, I think this is one of their best books. I like how inclusive it is--"friends welcome new friends of all colors and shapes!" as well as how the...
