My Take On God Loves Me More Than That:

A fun book that is a solid reminder for kids that God loves them (and each of us) more than we can imagine!

My Take On When God Made My Toes:

This delightful book takes you through a day in the life of an ornery, but equally adorable girl. Its fun rhyme and rythm remind us of how each of us is a wondrous creation by God...I think this one was my favorite! (If I chose one). :)

These really do seem to be popular books. I'm always on the hunt for great children's books and have recently discovered Bayard and their series of StoryBoxBooks, AdventureBoxBooks and DiscoveryBoxBooks (which has a special focus on teeth!) They have work by acclaimed children's books illustrator Helen Oxenbury appearing in the Storybox series for September. In addition to this, they also have some great activities for rainy days: http://www.storyboxbooks.com/potatoprinting.php, http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/macaroni-picture-frames.php, http://www.discoveryboxbooks.com/skittles.php Enjoy!
