Thankful~Eileen Spinelli

I received a copy of this book from ZonderKids in exchange for my honest opinion of the book.

9780310000884
  Thankful is a sturdy hard cover book with a dust jacket.  It was written by Eileen Spinelli and illustrated by Archie Preston.  Most people associate fall with Thanksgiving and being thankful in general.  This book is a great example of gratitude for our God given gifts and talents!  
From the dust cover:  Beloved children’s author Eileen Spinelli and illustrator Archie Preston inspire children of all ages with THANKFUL, a whimsical picture book that celebrates the everyday blessings we find in our lives.

My thoughts:  Thankfulness is something that we try to teach our children at a very young age.  When they first learn they can “request” something like a toy, cup or snack we teach our children to say “thank you”.  This book uses rhyming to help the reader see how and what people are thankful for.
          The illustrations with in this book make the book fun.  You see the same two little children (a boy and a girl) act out each thing as the words describe what each person would be thankful for:   
“The doctor is thankful when patients get well.  The traveler, for a cozy hotel.”
      “The dancer is thankful.  She loves the beat that stirs her heart and his and feet.”
What a fun, easy read and great book for any little one to experience and see gratitude.

Thank you to ZonderKids for allowing me to review this book!

     During the teen years there is so much growth, development and change going on in kids lives.  That has never been a secret!  Our young adults need to have space yet direction in developing their lives. We start off when they are young telling them that God will direct our paths.  This teen girls Bible is a great fit for this time in a young woman’s life.  This Bible has some great features that are perfect for any young woman.


     How does the Teen Bible differ from others?                               IMG_20150901_233107063


    This Bible features:

                                      *A pretty “girly” cover
                                       *pink pages
                              * character traits centered around women
                             * Growing in Faith, Hope and Love devotions.    
                                           *Devotion index
                                          *Topics index

     I think that finding the right Bible for your child will only help them on the path as they discover who they are and who they are supposed to be.  We change so many things as they grow why wouldn’t you change their Bible?  I think this Bible would be a great fit for any teen/young woman!

Thank you to ZonderKids for the opportunity to review this Bible!
