- Adventures with Jesus

by Heather Faith Jones illustrated by Honor Ayres

A completely new view of Jesus feeding the five thousand! A mouse’s view! Ideal for very young children, no wonder Katrina, who has written the forward, says her young son loves the purple donkey. Fun to read out loud, and simple for little ones to follow from the pictures or read for themselves later on. Sadly, no more in this series as yet.

The Work of His Fingers

- An Illustrated Rhyme in Praise of Creation

by Alison Brown

With some illustrations in colour, others in black and white, this book glorifies our Creator God. Big bold words written in rhyme accompany expressive illustrations beautifully drawn in ink and coloured pencil. Based on the Bible telling of the Creation of the World, Alison Brown has drawn a delightful and child friendly portrayal of Genesis Chapter One. With loving attention to detail this book will enchant the adult as well as the little one.

Water

- Based on Acts 8

by Leslie J Francis and Nicola M Slee with new illustrations by Phillip Vernon

This title is the first one of the series to be published with new illustrations by Phillip Vernon. Still using the character Teddy Horsley, to help very young children to relate their everyday experiences to the teaching in the Bible, this story is simply told, leading up to helping a little one understand more about Baptism. Brief notes at the back give the bible reference that inspired the story, and ideas for an adult to explore the theme further with the child.
See the Christian Education website for other titles available.

Webster the Scaredy Spider

- Hermie and Friends

by Max Lucado

I love this series and this book only arrived this morning and here I am adding it to the site! Although the other creatures around him thought he was scary, in truth Webster himself was scared of all sorts of things. When he meets Hermie, Hermie tells him that God loves him and will take care of him but that doesn’t stop all Hermie’s other friends getting out of Webster’s way as quick as they can. Then the creatures have a confab, but while nobody is watching, two youngsters get into difficulties, and yes of course, it is Webster who rescues them. The illustrations and storyline are excellent. I hope this story too, will come in board book format for the very young, they will love it.

Webster the Scaredy Spider

- Hermie and Friends

by Max Lucado

This edition for little ones, and uses the words and artwork of the book for young children produced in hardback. Even little ones can receive the message that God is there for them at all times to help them to be brave when they feel afraid. Usually I don’t like spiders, but I love Hermie, and now I look at spiders differently!
