There are few things elementary-aged kids love more than amazing facts. The Good Book Company's "All About…" Bible series presents fabulous facts alongside astounding photos and engaging Bible history in a kid-friendly package that will inspire children to crave God's Word!
"All About Bible Animals" is a very clever book! Yes, it’s filled with fun facts about the animals found in the Bible. But it introduces those animals chronologically, unpacking the story of the Bible as it goes along. So the reader learns about wonderful animals while, at the same time, discovering the wonders of God’s love.
My young granddaughter loves animals and this was perfect for her and also for other younger children who might not be from a Christian background as an introduction to the Bible?
My seven year old loves this. He has just hit the age when he loves to read atlases and other fact books, so this really appeals to him, and it's great to know that it's giving him a bit of insight into some of his favourite Bible stories too.
I get regular lectures along the lines of "Mummy, did you know that..."?
This book has been carried around by my kids because they love learning about animals. The way this book is set up is great. Quizzes & glossary add more learning fun to this reading.
I would recommend this book to any parent & will be giving copies as gifts.
I received a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
The book starts with Creation and moves forward through the Bible covering important animals and the wonderful facts that go with them.
At the end of the book is a short multiple-choice quiz and a glossary of uncommon words.
Each double-page spread includes multiple pictures of the animals, the Bible reference and a summary of the Bible story that the animal was a part of, definitions of any difficult words, anatomy labeling, and of course the interesting facts.
This book would be perfect for homeschoolers and also in a Sunday school or church library.
Calling all animal lovers! This book is teeming with interesting facts about animals such as the platypus, striped and speckled goats, Syrian brown bears, chameleons, the raven, and more.
--This book is unique because it pairs the beauty of our natural world with instances in scripture where animals have a noticeable appearance. You will remember Jonah and the big fish, Daniel and the lion’s den, but you might not remember the part of God’s word when David killed a bear or when the son ate with the pigs.
--Not only are there animal facts, but there is history and language definitions sprinkled throughout. Because of the Bible verses and the reference to the event, Simona Piscioneri has made it easy to have big picture theology and gospel conversations with your children.
--You will find this book colorful, engaging, and the page layouts cohesive without being overly repetitive. Another plus is that it has a sturdy binding with a matte cover and glossy pages which add to the overall aesthetic of the book. Engaging books make for engaging conversation and inspiring curiosity and wonder. This is sure to be your little monkey's new favorite!
What’s so special about the animals in Scripture? In All about Bible Animals, Simona Piscionera shows and tells over 100 amazing facts about the animals of the Bible.
This children’s book is so much fun! My kids enjoyed seeing the colorful photos of animals, and I enjoyed telling them about how they play a part in God’s word. Meant for ages 7 years and up, your kids will make connections with Bible stories and seeing how God teaches us with his creation.
Entertainingly Educational and Theological
I most enjoyed being able to tell my children that God cares for the sparrows, but he cares so much more for them. Remembering how Jesus came on a donkey, celebrating him as the king, was the perfect way to get ready for Easter.
This book is entertainingly educational and theological. I was pleased to read the Bible through the eyes of my kids, and seeing the amazing ways that God uses his creation to teach us his truths!
I received a media copy of All About Bible Animals and this is my honest review.
Did you know that animals tell us about God? Bible Animals by Simona Piscioneri is a fascinating children's book full of facts about how God used animals in the Bible.
Bible Animals is a large full color picture book that is 48 pages long and about 9 by 10 inches in size. This book is aimed at children ages seven to eleven--upper elementary students. It is a gorgeous book with beautiful pictures, bright bold colors and lots of interesting information and facts about animals from the Bible. Each animal that is featured has the verses from the Bible where it is mentioned along with a lot of questions and interesting information for children to read. This book would be a great book if you are home schooling your child to use along with others for science class. It is also one that would be great to have in your Sunday School or church library.
The book starts with the snake from Genesis and goes on to lions (Daniel and the Lion's Den) through a lot of Bible animals to the New Testament rooster that crowed when Peter denied Jesus. At the back of the book there is a quiz and a glossary. It is a nicely done book with a lot of interesting information--even for adults who are learning along with children.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
I love both the concept and execution of this book!
My kids love books about animals and learning new things. Unlike books we can get from the library, this has a biblical component that is really cool.
This book covers animals that are found in the Bible-- like frogs, bear, deer, locusts, lions, camels, donkeys, etc-- and not only gives fun facts about the animals but incorporates Scripture passages and stories to help kids understand the significance of, for example, why Noah would send a dove out after the flood, or what fish swallowed Jonah?
It also shares the gospel message within the pages and that's always a plus to keep teaching kids truth as they're learning other things. God displays his glory in creation and this book helps us recognize that!
The format of the book is colorful, fun, and really good quality.There is a fun quiz at the end and a glossary. It's a hardcover book with nice thick pages that will hopefully stand up against my children's rough page-turning. It is also 47 pages long which is a really nice length so you definitely get your money's worth in this one!
As a wildlife enthusiast it brings me great joy to see God’s creatures celebrated and explored. In ‘All about Bible Animals’ Piscioneri combines knowledge and bible stories in a fun, captivating way, sure to engage readers of all ages. The book works through the Bible in a chronological fashion, dedicating one page each to a creature as they appear in scripture. For example, doves are explored early on, since they star in the account of Noah and the Ark. Piscioneri’s book ticks all the boxes when it comes to a child-friendly production. There are stimulating and interesting pictures, well-formatted pages, and highly informative factoids, many of which I myself was most intrigued by! For any lover of wildlife and God’s word, this book is an exciting and helpful companion.
I received a free copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
This fun book would be a great addition to any family library. This book would be fun for any kiddo that loves animals as well. Each page features an animal or type of animal from the Bible. There are fun animal facts on each page with reference to examples where they are mentioned in the Bible. There are over 100 amazing animal facts in this picture book! Even as an adult I learned some cool animal facts I hadn't heard before.
This book isn't extensive on theology and seemed a little vague at times, but is a great resource for starting conversations with your kids about the Bible and animals that are mentioned and their significance to each story.
This book is listed for ages 7+, but I could see younger kids enjoying this one too!
It would also make for a great homeschooling resource.
There is even a quiz at the end of the book to quiz your kiddos on what they learned.
