Book Review: Sweet Book for Grandmas and their grandkids.

A recent release from Tyndale Kids, My Time with Grandma Bible Storybook introduces a new concept for Bible Storybooks. If you're a grandma with grand kids or know someone who is, this is designed for you. 

The author, Phil A. Smouse, takes the major Bible stories and condenses them down to a few paragraphs. The selection of Bible stories are great, the stories are easy to read (either by grandma or the grandchild), however I felt like Smouse oversimplified some of the stories so they would fit on one side of the 2-page spread. 

The illustrations are beautiful. The colors are bright and attractive, especially for small children. 

Though I recognize this book is written as a storybook for grandmothers, there is no room for movement. It is clear on each page that this book is only for grandmothers. Each story contains a "Note from Grandma." While this adds a layer of "cuteness" for grandmothers, it has the potential to limit the audience. It seems to me that with a little more creative wording, this book could have been used by a broader audience: child care providers, foster families, etc. 

Overall, I think this book would make a great gift for a grandmother and her grandchildren. I don't think you can ever go wrong when an adult is communicating the truth of God's word to a child.
