| Beginning with God - Exploring the Bible with Your child - Bible discovery for pre-schoolers Book 1 by Jo Boddam-Wetham This book is designed to provide parents with the resources to start reading the Bible on a regular basis with their preschool children: it contains stories from both the Old and the New Testaments and suggests ideas for activities that could be used to reinforce what has been read each day. The format is friendly, which means that this book would be useful for a new parent who had no experience of teaching but who wanted to bring their children up to know and love the Bible. There are stickers to use as rewards and advice on how to pray with your child. This book is obviously the first of a series, which is its main weakness. Six of the New Testament stories are connected with the birth of the Lord Jesus, but there is no mention of his death and resurrection (the last story tells how Jesus calms the storm). The book seems to be aimed at parents who are themselves young in the faith, and to leave the gospel half-untold will not help them lead their children to the Lord. Having said this, it does divide the Bible up into small chunks that can be digested by small appetites (the analogy of a meal is used throughout the book). This would be a good book to give to new parents or to recent believers with children. Beginning with God has been designed to work with The Beginner's Bible, but it can also be used with most other infant Bibles. Publisher Review by Paula Hill (02/03/10) |

| The Lost Sheep Retold by Juliet David, illustrated by Gemma Denham Another stout board book from Candle Books. The parable is told and illustrated very simply to suit the target age group, and details like the lurking fox and other creatures, give plenty of scope for the reader to enlarge on the story and involve even a very young child in the telling.

| The First Easter Retold by Juliet David, illustrated by Gemma Denham This stout board book will withstand little hands pulling at it. Ideal as an introduction to the story, with its shaped pages and peep holes. I particularly liked the flap that when lifted showed Judas creeping out of the upper room and the crowds visible through Herod’s palace walls. I find details like this bring the story to life for adults as well as toddlers. Review by Mary Bartholomew (25/01/10) |

| Benjamin Bear - Stencil Book by Claire Freedman, illustrated by Steve Smallman Stencil books are such fun! This one tells the story of Benjamin Bear and his animal friends as they play together and Benjamin learns the value of saying Sorry: Thank you: and Please. The reader can then help the youngster to understand that as well as saying these words to the people around us, we need to say them to Jesus in our prayers as well.

| Just In Case You Ever Wonder by Max Lucado This title has been around for several years but comes afresh to every young child who has it read to them. It is a gentle affirmation that each one of us is special, unlike anyone else in the world, that God has made us like this on purpose and loves everyone of us as an individual. Written as if the parent is speaking to the young child, telling them that they will be there for them whatever happens Just In Case You Ever Wonder. The illustrations are equally simple and expressive, no wonder this book has been around for a while. Review by Mary Bartholomew (01/01/10) |

| My Very First Easter - Candle Bible for Toddlers by Juliet David Illustrations by Helen Prole This is another ‘spin off’ from the original Candle Bible for Toddlers. The Easter story is told very simply and the illustrations are developed from the original book. An ideal introduction to the lead up to Easter and the Resurrection for the very young.
