Experts know that the most effective method for memorizing is repetition, and the key to repetition is to make it fun as well as meaningful. And again, that’s just what this innovative new picture book series does.Each book in the series teaches just one verse (from the New Living Translation):Be still and know that I am God! Psalm 46:10Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! Psalm 136:1I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13Each book opens with just the first word or phrase of the verse: GiveTurn the page and find a short, rhythmic list that focuses on and explains the word from the verse that was just introduced: Give a hug. Give a gift. Give a smile. Give a helping hand. Give it your all!Turn the page again, and another word from the verse has been added: Give thanksAnother page turn and you will find: For a new day. For a safe home. For a warm bed. For a full plate. Give thanks. Give thanks. Give thanks.The pattern continues through the pages of the book, until at the end the verse is complete. And very likely, after just a few readings, completely memorized!I especially like the way the author describes God throughout the series, as in this text that follows the last word in the verse “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good”: Good to you. Good to me. Good today. Good tomorrow. All the time, in every way, He is good.Illustrations are colorful, not too complex, and multi-ethnic (which I applaud). The same four children appear throughout each book.The series is called “Sit for a Bit,” and when you have these books in hand that’s just what you’ll want to do—pull a young child on your lap and explore and learn God’s Word together.
An incredible message for all of us! Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! This book draws your kids in with beautiful illustrations and a fun, fresh format...yet teaches one of the most important life lessons. GIVE THANKS! Attitude of gratitude...this is a book you will read to your littles over and over and eventually they will read to themselves as they become emergent readers. Adorable book with a powerful message.
