Big Thoughts for Little People by Kenneth N. Taylor
In Big thoughts for Little People, Kenneth Taylor (who is now in heaven) takes readers through the alphabet while teaching children about Christian living. Taylor reinforces the importance of loving God, being good, and knowing right from wrong.
Each letter is accompanied by a cute little rhyme, a short story, a great picture that goes along with the story, questions for children, and ends with a bible verse. The stories are simple, the illustrations vibrant and busy (great to keep the attention of little ones), and the messages are easy for children of all ages to understand.
When we received this book, I knew it was going to be one that we would be reading almost daily in our house! Natalie (5) was immediately drawn to the fun picture of kids and animals on the front, and she loves flipping through the pages. Each page has little ladybugs hidden all around, and Natalie loves finding and counting them all! We also spend time finding all of the pictures that begin with the theme letter of the page.
This is one of the best children's books that I have come across in a while. It is perfect to use for family devotions with kids of all ages. If you're like us, you might find yourself reading it when certain character traits need a little fine tuning--such as Thankfulness, Behaving, Joy, or Politeness!
This book retails for $14.99 from Tyndale and in my opinion, it is definitely worth the price!

Sounds like a great book, Cameryn is really into reading Bible stories at bedtime, so I'm sure she would love this book!!! Thanks for the review!

Sounds like it's perfect for preschoolers learning letter recognition. Are the letters in upper or lower case or both?
