Reviews for Baby Wren and the Great Gift

[medievalgirl-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Beautiful book with incredibly beautiful illustrations and a wonderfully inspirational message. This would be a joy to read with and to small children, who I am sure will love the pictures, and the whole experience.

The simple takeaway message about everyone having talents, and God-given gifts, no matter how small or insignifigant it may seem is one that children, I think will be able to understand and appreciate.
Although parents may want to note that the story does not actually mention God or Chistianity outright. Like in the book of Esther, He is there behind the scenes and by implication.

Overall, I book I will happily pass on to my sister, to read to her toddler over and over again.

I recieved a copy of this book from the publisher via Booklook Bloggers for review. I was not required to write a positive one, and all opinions expressed are my own.

Beautiful illustrations accompany the sweet and simple message of one tiny bird with a big, big gift. Baby Wren And The Great Gift explores the wonders of creation and the uniqueness of what God has created. A very small bird wonders what her gift could be as she contemplates all the wonderful things other animals can do. The prose is easy and unhurried with a repeating refrain to divide each scene. Bold illustrations pair well with the narrative. Perfect for family reading, or a larger group story time, this storybook will capture your child’s imagination and open up new ideas of what makes him/her special.Recommended.Audience: children ages 4-8(Thanks to Zonderkidz for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
