Books for Children

We don't have any children yet, but children's books are something which really excite me. Currently i'm in-charge of the Childrens department in the Christian bookshop where I work. I love trawling blogs and websites and meeting with reps, looking for books for children that are not only biblically accurate and will ground them well in the faith, but that are also attractive so that they will actually want to look at them!. These are some of my favourite books at the moment which I can't wait to share with our children (hopefully) in the future.

Big Bible Story Book
I love love love this book. The pictures are amazing and the message is clear. It goes through the whole Bible outlining the plan of God. Unlike nearly all the other Bible story books on the market this one links up the stories meaning that they are not abstract and it also covers way more stories than most others. As it outlines the plan of God as found in scripture it clearly outlines the gospel in a way that little people will understand.


Our Home is Like a Little Church and What is the Church?
These books are both written as a sort of rhyme. Our Home is Like a Little Church shows pre-schoolers the doctrine of the home as a place of worship where the father teaches his family God's commands while What is the Church? shows little ones that the church is much more than just a building. The rhyme makes it easy to remember and the illustrations are lovely too.


Grumpy Day, Rag Doll, Over the Fence and The Birthday Party
These four books are so lovely, I really hope they add to the series.They contain a simple story which a child can relate to, be that getting a new doll or having a day when everything goes wrong and then a simple bible truth at the end.
