Foster” >Father’s Day Poem - When Father Reads The Book by G.E. activity book that can be purchased in addition to that book. that is a great resource at many levels considering it not only teaches the alphabet but it additionally begins to build a solid foundation of Scripture knowledge for the children as well as perhaps the new believing parent.

The sub-title of the book is “introducing little children to well-known Bible stories.” that is accomplished and thereupon some. For example, I would have thought that “w is wall” would have been about Jericho but it was not. Rather, she chose the story of Nehemiah’s rebuilding Jerusalem. all through the alphabet, you are introduced to Jezebel, Dorcas, jail, the epistles of Paul and Balaam. These are stories that most children are not as familiar with; that is, in the children’s bible story books I have read to my boys, these have never been mentioned to our detriment.
My oldest son, who is four, knows his alphabet but enjoyed the illustrations and even told me more about the stories than what was shared in the book. As I was reading the book with my boys, I was wishing they had scripture references for the stories so we could turn immediately to the Bible for more knowledge. When I got to the letter Z, I noticed that the opposite page had a list of Bible references for all of the letters of the alphabet. I was excited that they did include that. Perhaps the only change I would invent is to add them in a smaller font size on each page, but that is just me.
This book has so much potential for use in Sunday School, in home schooling, and parents who want to teach their children their alphabet and introduce stories from the Bible as well. There is a 64p. He blogs at Diary of a Seminary Student, Said at Southern, and Going To Seminary.
