The Beautiful Garden of Eden - Gary Bower & Barbara Chotiner

5+ Stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK -

The Faith that God Built series by Gary Bower uses the same whimsical style of storytelling as The House that Jack Built, using rhyme to introduce preschoolers through second graders to favorite Bible stories. Gary has a well-developed talent for creating engaging narratives that also teach biblical truths through rhyme.

The Beautiful Garden of Eden tells the story of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, allowing sin to ruin what was perfect and beautiful.

MY THOUGHTS -
Oh my gosh - I love this book!
What fun! This is going to be one of those books that the children will want to hear read over and over and over. I've already read it twice myself.

Wonderful rhyming story that stays true to the Bible. And beautiful colored pictures to go along.
I remember "The House That Jack Built"! It was one of my favorite books. Its that fun repetitiveness that kids love. I have a feeling this is going to be one of my grandchildren's favorite stories

And my favorite page, the last one - it shows where you can find it in the Bible and... that all is not lost!

Two big, huge, giant thumbs up!
