Frolic Bible Babies by Lucy Bell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There is so much to love about Frolic Bible Babies! From the cover art to every page, this board book draws in the reader immediately with bright colors, well-drawn faces, and engaging backgrounds.
This little book covers the lives of four babies found in Scripture: Isaac, Moses, Samuel, and Jesus. Each story is told simply and in a way that tells about how special each one of these babies is to God, and how every baby and toddler hearing these stories, seeing these pictures, and interacting with this book will discover that they are special to God as well.
Some of the art is taken from the Frolic First Faith Storybook Bible. While the stories may be repeated here as well, the emphasis in this board book is on these specific babies. A little extra time is taken on Jesus to show that Jesus is God and loves everyone.
One other important facet to this particular board book, and why I highly recommend it, is that the Biblical figures are drawn here with attention to how they might have actually appeared in history, and not as European, blond-haired and blue-eyed individuals. This accurate representation of these characters not only grounds them further in history, but also helps kids from around the world to know that they can see babies like themselves in the stories of Scripture.
This is a great board book addition to any home or church nursery! I especially recommend this one and any of the other Frolic books. You can find them at any online retailer!
