This series of books, aimed at pre-school children, draws the young reader in with bright, interesting illustrations and bold text. The large, clear font and simple language make these books accessible to the learner reader. Each of the four books engages children in a search for one of God’s creatures. There are clues and interactive questions on every page, along with a Bible verse. The books conclude with a God-centred prayer to pray.
The pictures provide lots of talking points, and we were introduced to some new and unusual animals (Aussie author!). The Bible verses followed a theme (e.g. God’s love), but didn’t link easily to the story itself, so at times seemed a bit disjointed if read out with each page.
