• My Little Book About God 11 August, 2008
ISBN 0307203123 - I'm a huge fan of Golden Books, and not a fan at all of religion, so I was curious to see how the two would go together. I'm surprised to say they work together nicely here. Sturdy board book pages are nice and the medium size of the book is good for small hands. The illustrations by Eloise Wilkin are mostly pleasant, kind of boring, although some are stand-out excellent.
From "God is Good", through to "God is Love", this small book attempts to introduce your child to the higher power you, presumably, believe in and wish to share. It explains, in a basic sense, who and what God is, in terms simple enough for young children.
While religious parents will enjoy the idea of sharing this little gem with their children, you should know that if you're a strict believer in the bible and the "created in seven days" idea, this book may contradict your beliefs with "Think of the snow-capped mountains. Those peaks were crumbling away with age before the first people lived on earth." For those whose religious beliefs are more open, this really is a nice book that's pretty basic. The text is too long for most of the intended audience of most board books (toddlers) and might be more appropriate for older kids who wouldn't want to be caught with a "baby book".

• My Little Golden Book About Taking Credit For Stuff 21 August, 2008
Vague genuflections to things in nature like inertia, plate tectonics, species diversity, internal morality and crediting these to God does not make a book about God anymore than saying these are caused by fairies would make a book about fairies.
At times they seem to try to be too scientific when the purpose of the book is to indoctrinate kids into this myth. They need to keep it simpler.
Some of the pictures are downright creepy. The little girl being given tea looks like a zombie, and the lack of pupils in some pictures are offputting. Some of the messages are a little odd like those stars are millions of miles away when the closest of them is, I suppose, 25,000 million miles away, and the suggestion of mountains decaying strongly suggests that all mountains just decay and glosses over most plate tectonics when it shouldn't even bring it up.

• My Little Book About God 05 September, 2007
I enjoyed the Golden Books as child, 66 years ago and am happy they're still around for my great-grandchildren. They are just right for little hands. I remember some of the pictures to this day. I'm looking for a Nursery Rhyme Songbook. I can't recall the cover of the book but I remember many of the pages. The first page was "Lavender's Blue Dilly-Dilly" and the top of the next page was "London Bridge" I think the next page was "Where Have You been Billy Boy?" I thought the children in the pictures wore such pretty clothes. My mother, who is now deceased, sang these songs to my sister and me and I've sung them to my 10 grandchildren. Would like to have the book. My 9 month old great-granddaughter's favorite is "Are You Sleeping?" It was on a left hand page and "Row, Row,Row Your Boat" was right above it. Thank you if you can direct me to that speial beloved book.

• Perfect First Book To Begin To Teach Your Little One About God 17 April, 2008
I bought this book for my 16 month old to begin to teach her about god and to start to develope her spirituality. She loves to sit and read it every night with us. The text is a tad lenghly on some pages for a 16 month old and sometimes she gets anxious to see the other pages before we are finished reading one. However the illustrations are beautiful and they hold her attention alone. I like the way the author has incorperated children of different races into to illustrations as well. This is deffinatly a keepsake because of the gentle /sweet message of gods creatons and his love and kindness. In addition to the beautiful pictures.

• Sweet Book 17 July, 2006
This book is a sweet story and a good introduction to God's creations. The wording is a little antiquated but my daughter enjoys the sentiment and the pictures.
