My review:

Our familiar first became familiar with the What's in the Bible series many years ago, because we were watching Veggie Tales, another one of Phil Vischer's shows for children.  We loved Veggie Tales, so when What's in the Bible came out, I was eager to see it!

We eventually began subscribing to JellyTelly, a channel composed of Christian programming for kids.  We love it!!  JellyTelly Press together with FaithWords Publishers is responsible for the publication of the new  book series featuring Clive & Ian, and Buck Denver's Coloring Book.

There are four books about Clive & Ian all with a theme from Genesis 1.  Titles include God Made the World, God Made Night & Day, God Made the Animals, and God Made Me.

There are two separate coloring books, one for the Old Testament stories, and one for the New Testament Stories.  Each of the pages in the coloring books corresponds with scenes from the What's in the Bible video series.

I like the board books because they are sturdy and colorful.  There are very few words on each page, enough to keep children engaged, but not too many as to overwhelm.  The sentences are simple, yet teach children truths from Genesis 1.  

I also like the coloring books because they go along with the What's in the Bible video series.  The paper is thick and smooth, which is nice. It is good quality and not flimsy.  The illustrations are nice in that they are not too detailed, but have enough to where older children that like to color would enjoy them also. I think you could use coloring pencils or crayons. The spaces might be too small for markers though, unless you used pencil sized markers.

I recommend this for mom's who want to teach their littles all the stories in the Bible.  I believe it is very important to solidify their hearts in these stories, because when they are small, they are so literal, and they just grab hold of lessons told in story form.  Adults are really like this too.  

If you are a homeschool mom, and are looking for a Bible study curriculum, the coloring books go along with the What's in the Bible video series (which is very educational), and can supplement what they are learning.

Churches, the books and coloring books would be a good addition to any children's classroom and lessons.

Many blessings to you as you continue to come to Him as a child and receive all He has for you!

God Bless Our Fall by Hannah C. Hall Illustrated by Steve Whitlow

"Let's cuddle up around the fire 

And warm our little feet.

The cider's hot and hits the spot.

The s'mores are gooey sweet."

God Bless Our Fall is a sweet little board book for children written in poetry form. It goes through all the fun activities people often experience in the fall like the changing colors of the leaves, pumpkin carving, hay rides, baking, outdoor fires, harvest festivals, and jumping in leaf piles. Different animals are featured in each of the different activities, which adds another element of education and fun to the picture book.

God is mentioned many times.  Children learn that God is the creator of fall.  The author thanks God and asks Him to bless our fall.

The book is aesthetically pleasing and the text is easy to read.  It would be a fun book to add some American Sign Language to while you read it to your little ones.  I like having another book about seasons to add to our collection.

I recommend this book to parents of early readers. The text is rhyming, so it would be a good book to work on those reading skills.

It would also be a great book to include when teaching children about God and His creation, because of all the different illustrations of animals, nature, and foods.

God bless you all in this new fall season,

Beth
