Reviews

[Beacon House Academy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reads a lot like a Dr Suess book. Cute book about creation.

[Therese Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delightful children’s retelling of Genesis, which was shared by a dear friend who read this to all her children and grandchildren.

Looking at Parker’s smile, he enjoyed the rhymes and brightly colored illustrations. I loved continuing the May’s tradition.

It is not straight Scripture, but it was fed the imagination. This joyful Dr. Suess-like style of the retelling of the 6 days of creation was fun to read!
