God Made You Nose to Toes by Leslie Parrott~A ZonderKidz Review


  20161220_213721 God Made You Nose to Toes is a chunky board book written by Leslie Parrott and illustrated by Estelle Corke. As I was reading the book I was reminded of the Bible verse Jerimiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hop and a future.”
   This adorably illustrated board book reminds us of how God made our entire body as he wanted each of us to be.  He gave us our eyes to see the beautiful stars 20161220_213734he created for us, a mouth to laugh at the funny animals he created for us and ears to hear the beautiful sound, for examples.  A great addition to any little ones library!
