T is for Tree: A Bible ABC Review

Children's books come by the thousands. 
Children's Bibles have been made over and over again.
ABC books have also been crafted time and time again.

However, T is for Tree: A Bible ABC published by Reformed Free Publishing Association stands above the masses. It's worth a deeper look in our opinion! We've had a wonderfully intimate time studying the intricate pictures in this book, mulling over the scriptures on each page and discussing Biblical concepts as we paged through this book over and over again.





For my preschool time with my youngest children we read this book over and over. My boys would get so excited at the turn of every page. They each had their favorite pictures and Bible verses.



Some of the discussions we had pertained to the page "K is for King". The verse is "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1. We discussed how we can submit to our authorities even if they aren't following the Lord because God is still in control and can turn a king's heart in which ever way He pleases. We discussed how the evil kings were able to conquer Israel in the Old Testament because God led them to do that.


My oldest girls LOVED reading this book to my littles.




Even the adults in the house would pick this book up and page through it once and a while. 

The book was written and illustrated by Connie L. Meyer. The artwork is incredible! I mean each page could be framed and hung on the wall. 


Each page takes a letter and a word that goes with that letter. There is also a poem and a verse. Color splashes across the page in brilliant artwork and is bordered by intricate designs that correlated with the Bible verse. 



Aryeh's favorite page was "B is for Bow" because he liked to identify all the animals around the border of the page. 



As one of my friends was paging through this book, she noticed two spelling errors that are worth pointing out. 



A is for Ants: the verse is supposed to say, "...they are exceedingLY wise". 


N is for Nest: the verse should read, "found A house...".


We love this book and use it for our preschool and plan on continuing to keep it in our bookcase of prized books.
