This is a great resource book for adults and children to see what the animals in the Bible look like and a little more details about each animal. While many were the same as what we have today, there were others that I had never heard of. Great illustrations to go with each animal.

About the Book:
Each beautifully illustrated animal includes details to help clarify its meaning for children, important cultural information, and connections between the historic world of the Bible and our world today! God once told Job that animals are important to Him, and that they are a big part of His creation. God watches when the doe gives birth to her fawn. He makes the leopard swift to hunt its prey. He commands eagles to soar. Animals are important to God. He loves them and cares for them, and wants us to do the same. Many of the animals mentioned in the Bible are featured in 44 Animals of the Bible.

Hight worked for various advertising agencies, designing several covers for RCA records, and developing a variety of projects for Master Books.
My Review:
Complete with scripture the publishers at Master Books have published a book to help your child get a visible image of 44 Animals of the Bible. Included in this book are several animals that are comparable to modern day animals but you will see a few you don't recognize. Such as an Asp, an Asp is a snake similar to a Cobra or a Gier a large bird similar to an Eagle.With each animals description is a short summary of how they were used during Bible times. Master Books works hard to bring to life each and every creation of God to life for our children. I always find their products God focused and that makes my heart sing.
The author and illustrator have produced a lovely book geared for ages 4-8. The illustrations are colorful and each animal has one. The scripture and wording are simple enough for early elementary and of course, it is a great read-aloud for those unable to read. The price for this book is $9.99 for hardcover or $6.99 for downloadable version---if interested here is the link. Joshua enjoyed reading about "God's" animals!

I received a review copy from the publisher.
44 Animals of the Bible features the following animals in alphabetical order: ant, asp, badger, chameleon, deer, dove, eagle, fly, fox, frog, gier, goat, hare, hawk, heron, horse, hyena, ibex, kite, lamb, leopard, lizard, mole, mouse, nighthawk, osprey, ostrich, owl, palmerworm, peacock, pelican, pygarg, quail, ram, scorpion, sparrow, swallow, turtledove, tortoise, unicorn, viper, vulture, weasel, and whale.
Each animal has a 1 page entry that gives information about the animal including how the Bible describes the attributes of the animal and/or the lessons we can learn from the animal. It also has a scripture passage about the animal as well as a watercolor image.
As a horse owner, I was completely puzzled by the horse entry where it stated that horses couldn’t be ridden in rocky places because they didn’t have horseshoes. This is not true, and it’s a shame that more research wasn’t done by the author to know that horses can indeed be ridden in rocky terrain without horseshoes.
Putting aside the incorrect information on horses, I did like the layout of this book and how the information was presented. It would be nice for preschool and elementary age children who are interested in animals, and it could be used as a devotional with younger children.
Three stars - I liked it.

hat a neat and sweet book. The 44 Animals of the Bible, was very fascinating. I did know most of the animals as did my children. But, there were a few that we did not know, such as an Asp. I had no idea it was in there, or, even what an Asp is!
I was originally interested in 44 Animals of the Bible for my granddaughter to teach her.
However, my 12 and 14 year old boys grabbed the book and ran off to read about the different animals. Very impressive.
The only con is the red strip with the tiny writing for the scripture pointing to where the animal is found in God's word. Other than that. I loved it.
I did receive a copy for review on my blog My MisMatched World, All thoughts are 100% my own!!!!
