Christian Children’s Books Under $40: The Perfect Gift
I Wonder
I Wonder: Exploring God’s Grand Story, an Illustrated Bible, by critically acclaimed author Glenys Nellist. It is an inspirational Bible that encourages children to ponder the truths God has placed in their hearts by asking thought-provoking, open-ended questions after each story. This is a children’s Bible, but I truly think any child would enjoy this version. I found it delightful!
I’m Going to Give You a Polar Bear Hug! (board book)
In this delightful padded board book you’ll find adorable, cuddly illustrations that inspire children to get cozy. So, as they follow along with a story overflowing with winter fun, imagining all the cozy, warm hugs they might receive on a frosty winter day. So adorable! This would make a present for a toddler or preschooler.
Beginner’s Bible Little Lamb’s Christmas
The Beginner’s Bible Little Lamb’s Christmas brings the story of Jesus’s birth to life from a new and fun but faithful retelling as readers follow little Lamb from the hillside to the manger where he celebrates the arrival of God’s only son. So, so precious. My 4 month old loved looking at the lamb while my 4 year old loved the story and playing with the lamb as well! This would be wonderful to give to new parents to start their library collection at a baby shower or a toddler – preschooler for Christmas, Easter or a birthday.
