Bombus the Bumblebee by Elsie Larson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
MY REVIEW:
These two story books for children are about Bombus the Bumblebee and how God made him unique. Each book teaches children about creation from a biblical viewpoint while also teaching children a lesson about life - such as friendship, being kind, etc. The stories are well written and fun to read for both children and parents.
I appreciated the quality of the story and the downright adorable illustrations. It was also fun to learn facts about animals as we read the story. These facts didn't stand out, but were woven into the story. Another nice addition to this book was the extra sections in the back that contained fun facts, a "how to use this book" guide, and creative activity ideas.
You can also get an activity book to go with the two story books. It is full of games, puzzles, coloring pages, additional short stories, recipes, and mazes. It's a great way to stretch the learning out as the kids not only read, but "do" to learn, too!
All three books are targeted for 4-8 year olds but the story books are great for younger ages as well.
