Reviews for The Legend of the Sand Dollar
5 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Scripture tells us that God reveals Himself through His creation. The Legend of The Sand Dollar by Chris Auer is a good illustration of that. Based on a popular poem of the Southeast, Auer’s book clearly and beautifully tells the story of Easter, the real story of Easter. While the narrative of this children’s book tells of Jesus’ work on the cross, the illustrations confirm the beauty of God’s world. I really liked that the story is passed from one child to the next emphasizing the easy manner of sharing about God. The author includes interesting facts about sand dollars and the original poem — good jumping off points for more exploration. The Legend of The Sand Dollar is perfect for family reading time, easily understood by young children, but with challenging vocabulary and sentence structure for the readers among you. I think this book will soon become a favorite for Easter and throughout the whole year.Recommended.Audience: children ages 4-10.(Thanks to Zonderkidz of a complimentary copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A neat inspirational story for children. Shares the Legend of the sand dollar and how it tells the story of Easter.
