Feed Me Books: Proverbs for Kids

Photobucket
I am linking up here to share some good books!

I bought this book before we even had kids.  I love the book by Elizabeth George, Beautiful in God's Eyes.  I have read it over and over.  So when I saw she had a book for little girls, I had to have it.  The illustrations are so beautiful and each page spread focuses on a different virtue. 




Fast forward a few years and I was pregnant with my first child- a boy.  I was looking through the book store and I saw one for BOYS!!  Elizabeth and her husband wrote this one.  It is equally as beautiful and I love the way it teaches Proverbs in a way a little boy can understand.  Plus, the boy has a pet dog and frog and they are in each picture.  My son likes to find them. 

It has been a while since I pulled this off the shelf to read (it is not with the regular books- I guess I am selfishly keeping it out of harm's way!).  I am excited to put it in our reading stack for tomorrow!

  2. You are right! I saw this one before I had children, but made a mental note that I wanted it. I guess it's time to buy it now!

    I love books that speak to me as well as to her.
