Really Woolly Nighttime Lullabies by Bonnie Jensen is a charming board book to share with young children. The child sized volume contains nineteen bedtime rhymes connected to a Bible verse with reference and accompanied by a short prayer to point your child to the One who blesses us with all good things. I love the brightly colored simple illustrations by Donna Chapman, each featuring Really Woolly and his friends. Easy for little ones to hold on to at approximately 5x7 inches in size, it is sure to become a favorite.
The Woolly books are new to me since I don't have small children anymore. However, they are the first greeting cards I typically take a look at when choosing one at my local Christian bookstore so I am not surprised that these illustrations capture me in the same manner as the cards.
I don't know of any better way to spend time with your child than closing out their day reminding them that God is close, watching over them, and cares for them deeply. This book would make an excellent baby gift or birthday for children up to four but even I enjoyed the rhymes. While nothing is indestructible, this is one book you won't have to be concerned with torn pages as it is very durable.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one. Two thumbs up to Tommy Nelson for another resource to use with our children as they close out their day and darkness falls.
