Fab for toddlers

Our children loved these books when they were younger. They loved having one word on a page as they recognised the picture then said the word. It helped them engage with the story. We loved reading the book to them when they got to the end. They were some of our favourites!

Lovely idea but sadly very hard to read

This is a lovely idea and a great selection of Bible heroines and heroes for my children to learn about. Unfortunately, the book is arranged with the full text of the story on the last double page spread. Otherwise every page has only illustrations and one word on it. I presume this was aimed at focusing on one word at a time? Sadly it just doesn't work. You either have to keep flicking back to the last page to read the text aloud (not easy when reading to a toddler) or make the story up as you go along, or take a permanent marker and write the story onto each page yourself. Sadly I cannot recommend this in its current iteration. If the text were written out on each page then I would have given it 4/5 stars.
