I have always had an interest in rebus stories. Perhaps it is something I remember from my childhood or maybe it is the fact that it is interactive rather than just the adult talking. What a sense a confidence a child can feel when he "reads" with a parent or caregiver.
Look, I'm Reading! Bible Storybook provides just such an opportunity just in time for the holidays. The volume contains approximately 90 Bible stories from Creation through Revelation. Most of the stories are the traditionally read ones such as Noah, Jonah, Joshua, Ruth, and the birth of Jesus. With each one page story is the scripture reference from the Bible (making it easy to follow up with the complete story if you choose to do so), cute whimsical watercolor illustrations by Steve Smallman, and a key to the rebus pictures to help your child learn the words and help you along with telling the story.
The book is a sturdy hard bound volume, well bound so it doesn't fall apart when you read it day after day. The font is quite large making it easy to read and follow along with little hands and eyes. In my opinion, this volume of Bible stories will be one a young child ages 2-6 will ask for again and again.
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.
