We've read it all the way through almost twice, using it as part of our bedtime ritual. <br /><br />There were may times that it brought tears to my eyes just by speaking profound truths about God's love and plan for us in the stories. God really used this straightforward storytelling version of the truths in the Bible to penetrate my heart. My boys enjoyed it too. Especially the Tower of Babel.

I bet this one would be RIGHT up Mr Levi's alley. And I bet you would have a fun photo shoot idea spun from it. It's called Not a box. http://www.amazon.com/Not-Box-Antoinette-Portis/dp/0061123226 my son LOVES LOVES it. We have been reading it to him scince he was about 6 moths, and now he "reads along with us" And of course we have our very own box that lives in our living room. :) We also love the Lama Lama books although if you do them read them through and think about some of the things that is in there. It's harmless but all the sudden my son was saying things that I didn't like, and it wasn't until we were reading it that I discovered it was from the Lama books.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951207721319474675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-8377497488187488742011-02-07T02:22:06.341-06:002011-02-07T02:22:06.341-06:00Oh my word, Jess.

I've even shared portions of it with my Sr. High Sunday School class. The writing is fantastic, and the narrative so beautifully demonstrates how Christ is woven through the whole story of time. You will love it!EricaGhttp://warmaspie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-53799164928737791142011-02-05T11:05:00.200-06:002011-02-05T11:05:00.200-06:00I lol'd about the food in his mouth!

I have three boys and I would safely say that they all LOVE "Goodnight, Gorilla" and it's really a great book because it doesn't have a lot of words, but the illustrations are great! We also love "I love you, Stinky Face" as someone else recommended. <br /><br />My family has had it's share of cancer and I still can't imagine what Kate's family is going through at this time.

It has the word warrior in it. And, it appeals to a boy's warrior heart.

We are absolutely loving it here - we read from it every day! I'm not sure who is loving it more - me or the kids! Some days I beg them to come read it with me. I can't even believe how it gives even me such a better understanding of the way God unfolds his plan throughout history. It may be for kids - but it can speak wonders to us adults too!!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895870049400383760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-72831562317674450042011-02-04T22:31:46.640-06:002011-02-04T22:31:46.640-06:00Prayers for Kate.

A close second would be Lemons Are Not Red. We first checked it out of the library, and we liked it so much that we wanted a copy of our own. I had to order it though, because I had no luck finding it at any of our big bookstores. And if you are ever in need of a great Christmas book, Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree. THE BEST!! It is so cute. <br /><br />Praying for Kate, and thinking and praying for you, Joel, Levi and your families this week also. <br /><br />Hugs from Michigan.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-22255308372308758442011-02-04T18:27:25.232-06:002011-02-04T18:27:25.232-06:00We have the Jesus Storybook Bible and my two older...We have the Jesus Storybook Bible and my two older kids (7 and 4) absolutely love it (especially the 4 yr old). It is so worn out we've taped it together. I love how they describe every story (old and new testament) as a way for God to come into our lives and rescue us through His Son. Many of the stories bring tears to my eyes.
