Things I like about the book:
- After starting with the signature phrase, "this is a true story from the Bible," this book gives the audience jobs to do as they listen to the truth. Three simple tasks: finger to your lips, hand to your ear, or point to your hand. In ministry to kids, a tool like this is GOLD in focus and attention.
- This book has a rhyming component, making the book have a singsong feel.
- There is also repetition in the book.
- Amazing illustrations that come to life.
- Female focused. Deborah is the leader who follows God and the others follow her. Our kids need to know the events in the Bible where women were central as well as the many, many events that the main leaders were male.
- The author's style with motions, rhyme, repetition, key truths, and great description gives this book a fluency and engagement for littles.
- Hardback book, with thick glossy, sturdy pages, it should last the test of time and even a classroom of children.
Things I wonder about the book:
- This book not only doesn't capitalize pronouns like his/him when referring to God, it does capital Word when it means the Word of the Lord which is inconsistent to me.
- I wonder why we share a "true story from the Bible" and don't share the reference to read it in a physical or e-book Bible and check out the facts as an adult?
Educational Connections:
- Explore other women who had significant contributions to following God.
- God's speaking through His Word- the Bible- connections, teaching this concept.
- Obeying and Listening practice with follow the leader or Simon says, and connect to sometime's it's hard to follow and complete a task. But it is important to follow God.
- Battle- charge, reenact with army men or little figures- and have all 900 drop because God said.
Thankful to partner with the goodbook company and review another solid biblical book.
