Really Woolly Bible Stories

Let it be written: “Really Woolly Bible Stories” is an absolutely wonderful children’s book! I was excited about this book from the moment I saw it available on Thomas Nelson Publisher’s BookSneeze website. First of all, the cover is absolutely adorable. I mean, could they possibly have gone more over-the-top with cuteness? A lamb, a bunny, and a baby duck reading Bible stories – hats off to the illustrator (Julie Sawyer Phillips). This book also has one of my favorite features in a children’s book: thick pages. The cover and pages are nice and tear-proof. Very handy for the little ones that like to grab and point at the pages and pictures.
When it comes to the stories themselves, they do not disappoint. Each flip of the page brings a new Bible story. It’s kind of like a children’s version of Cliff Notes – that also rhymes. It’s great to see a book that tells Bible stories for the very young children. The author, Bonnie Rickner Jensen, has done a wonderful job of conveying classic Bible stories for the little ones. I give Really Woolly Bible Stories my highest recommendation for children’s books. Both the writing and illustrations are absolutely perfect.
