* Who Made the World? Review and Giveaway *
Ages 3-6
Retail Value: $9.99
I was expecting a very typical Creation story when I opened up Who Made the World but I was wrong in my assumption. The book starts out with questions that little kids ask, such as,
"So who made the world?
God, I think it was you.
Did you have a helper?
If so, tell me who!"
A little while later,
"What was the hardest,
and what was most fun?
The plants or the stars
or the people - which one?
The book then seems to end on these questions, with
"One final question
I'm puzzling through:
If you made it all,
well, then, God - who made you?"
At this point, the book gave me a pleasurable, unexpected twist that I wouldn't have planned on in a children's book - the second half of the book begins with:
"You've asked some great questions-
you sound very smart!
Now open your Bible.
See there, at that start,
are some of the answers
to questions you seek.
And now, turn the page -
it is God's turn to speak!"
This sudden turn in direction thrilled me as as Mama! Why? Because it points the child right back to Scripture for their answers, something I am already teaching my two year old daughter on a very basic level. Using Scripture as the basis, the final half of the book is God "talking" and telling His point of view on Creation.
Illustrated by Elena Kuchank, The Care Bears artist, the artwork in the book is simplistic and endearing to little eyes. It is sure to become a bedtime classic in our home, as my daughter is attracted to both the rhythm of the words and the illustrations.
