Children's Book: Thank You God for Daddy

Thank You, God, For Daddy

About the Book:
Daddies do so much for us! It's time to thank God for the blessing they are.
In this adorable board book, a little lion cub thanks God for his wonderful daddy-a daddy who gives big hugs and piggy back rides, who takes great care of him, and most importantly, who offers love, guidance, and encouragement.
Thank You, God, for Daddy;
He scares monsters away.
When Daddy says, "Don't be afraid,"
I know that it's okay.

The love and sacrifices of fathers will be celebrated by children everywhere each time they snuggle up to read Thank You, God, for Daddy.


My Comments:
This cute board book uses the rhyming voice of a lion cub to thank God for all the good things Dads do for their kids and families.  It is too  young for my daughter but I think three to four year olds would enjoy it, especially if Daddy reads it to them.
Grade:  B.
I'd like to thank Thomas Nelson Publishers for making a review copy available via NetGalley.  I was not obligated to write any review, much less a positive one.

Children's Book Review: Thank You God for Mommy

Thank You, God, For Mommy

About the Book:
In this adorable board book, a little panda thanks God for his wonderful mommy—a mommy who gives hugs and cuddles, who takes great care of him, and most importantly, who offers love and guidance for her precious panda cub.

Thank You, God, for Mommy,
And lullabies so sweet—
The beating of her great, big heart
Sings me right to sleep.

The love and sacrifices of mothers everywhere will be celebrated by mother and child as they snuggle up together and say Thank You, God, for Mommy

My Comments:
This is a short book--only ten two-page spreads, each of which shows a baby panda and his mommy in some situation of daily living, with him thanking God for something she does, like kissing boo-boos, being patient with messes, turning frowns upside-down and more.  Written with rhythm and rhyme it is the type of thing I like to read aloud.  While a little simplistic for my six year old, I think it would be ideal for a three to five year old.  Grade:  B+
