I
received a copy of LIFT THE FLAP BIBLE with text by Karen Williamson from Lion Hudson
from Kregel in exchange for an honest review. It is part of the “Candle Tiny
Tots” series. The illustrations are by
Louise Anglicas, and they are colorful and intriguing. They appear to be different papers, with
varying colors and patterns, pasted together to form images – but of course it
looks better than what I just described!
The book includes eight Bible stories perfect for young readers. The stories are just tidbits, but they will
lead into longer discussions. When young
children hear more about those people, such as Daniel, they will be able to
relate back to this book.
I
will admit that some of the flaps were a bit weird. The outside of the flap, facing the reader
upon opening to that page, revealed an animal, for example, and when you lifted
the flap, it was the same animal, but slightly different. One flap involved a bird, and the inside
showed the bird lifting its wings. While
all the flaps were cute, for some of them I was expecting something a bit more.
The
book is designed for children ten months and older. I am going to pass it on to a friend who has
a young son and another on the way. I
hope that their family enjoys reading this aloud, as my family did when we
received it.
