I want to teach my children that there is more than this world. Written by Joni Eareckson Tada for ages 2-4, this board book uses simple sentences to teach exciting truths about Heaven.
Eternal Life with Christ
The brightly-colored illustrations by Catalina Echeverri help to show that Heaven will not be boring. What I most loved about this book is that it shows Jesus as the center and focus of Heaven. Eternal life with Christ will be exciting, and we will have new hearts and new bodies to enjoy with him forever.
I received a media copy of The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party Board Book and this is my honest review.
Sometimes little children hear grown-ups talking about Heaven and they wonder what that is all about. Or maybe they have never heard about Heaven. Either way, The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party by Joni Eareckson Tada shares some basic ideas of what heaven is all about.
The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party uses simple language and illustrations to convey to children that Heaven will be something to look forward to and how wonderful heaven will be, based on the Bible.
This book could answer some questions about Heaven but it could also create more discussion about Heaven. This small board book is a good size to read to toddlers and is also small and sturdy for them to look at on their own. It would be a good book in baby's own little library.

The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party is a wonderful addition to the Tales That Tell the Truth Series by The Good Book Company. This children's book helps young readers learn that heaven is exciting and lovely because Jesus is there. My oldest daughter really enjoys this series of books and the storybook volume in particular. I am grateful that The Good Book Company has recently been producing board books so I can expose my younger children to truth in a format that is more developmentally suitable.
The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party board book contains many of the illustrations that are present in the storybook. The board book is a condensed version of the storybook with simplified statements that are just as powerful as the ones in the original volume. There are many options available when it comes to introducing books to babies and toddlers so I'm grateful to have an increasing number of books, including this one, that will introduce them to Jesus.
I received The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party board book compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
I had the opportunity to read Joni's initial book version for a bit older children and thoroughly enjoyed it. The board book version is obviously shorter and consists of simpler statements.
The entire storyline revolves around heaven, what it will be like and how we should anticipate it joyfully.
The illustrations are just as vibrant and captivating as the original version. They create some good additional discussion simply from the characters' facial expressions or colors or depictions of certain aspects of heaven.
Two disappointments:
- As with the original version of the book, there are no scripture references. It doesn't matter how young or old one may be, the reading of Scripture is essential to understanding, loving, and enjoying God. Preschoolers have the capacity to read scripture and enjoy it. So I was disappointed that scripture was not referenced or used throughout the book.
- The storyline only focuses on Heaven, its characteristics and our celebration of it. It misses the vital component that we will not be joyfully celebrating Heaven if we do not repent and accept Christ. I understand Joni's purpose was not necessarily to describe or discuss the way to Heaven. But there is a very honest reality that we must repent and believe before we can have the privilege of experiencing such a "awesome super fantastic forever party". I believe there would have been an age appropriate way of incorporating that into the story.
In general, the book is a wonderful option to discuss heaven with toddlers.

Having read the larger version of this book before, this is a great series illustrated by Catalina Echeverri. The authors often cover topics that you don't find in other children's book series. The Awesome Super Fantastic Forever Party teaches us that heaven is brilliant because we have new bodies and we get to spend eternity with Jesus. We now get to look forward to that amazing future, getting excited for the best party imaginable!
The board book is a slightly simplified version of the main book and does miss out a few pages (so if you have an older child, definitely choose the bigger version), but this is a great present for a young child to read or to read with them.
This simplified board book will communicate the truth of God's Word for your toddler and give each listener, including adults, a good view of the Heaven we all await for when Jesus returns, and we start a forever party! Thankful to partner with the goodbook company and read an advance copy.
