I've said it so many times lately, but we just LOVE books! Little Bug can't get enough of them so of course, we said "YES" to the chance to review T is for Tree: A Bible ABC from Reformed Free Publishing Association. I received a 32-page hardback copy of the book. It is recommended for ages 3-6 and I think this is a good suggestion. My K5 Little Bug really liked it. The pages are thick, slightly glossy and very colorful and nice quality.
This is an ABC book that takes a page for each letter of the alphabet to introduce a word, a nice rhyme, and an appropriate scripture from the King James Bible version. I really liked the set up of this book. It has the key elements I love to have in my early education readers. The littles get to learn their alphabet while increasing their vocabulary, learning rhymes, and getting a good dose of scripture.

Of course, Little Bug already knows her alphabet but she enjoyed listening to the rhymes and she is really picking up on the scriptures. She has started recognizing some of them even from other books she reads and our bible studies. The artwork is catchy and helps to keep her attention on the page and listening. It's another win and addition to her nighttime bible reading.
We read the book together and I think her favorite page is S for Stars. She has always been fascinated with the sky and stars. I can't say enough how I appreciate that scripture is incorporated into each page. This is just a delightful book that is a perfect Christian children's ABC book that not only introduces the alphabet but also God's word. The addition of the rhyming is a bonus.

I love the publisher's desire to instill God's word and truths into our little ones. They believe that we are saved through faith alone and that it is by God's grace that we are granted salvation (not by our works). The author, Connie L. Meyer, is also the illustrator of her book. The illustrations are wonderful throughout the entire book. She is a 1982 graduate of Calvin College and attends Hope Protestant Reformed Church in Michigan. She has written many other Christian children's books and articles and even a three-volume Christian art curriculum series.
Since Little Bug already knows her ABCs we just read this like a book. I can see just reading a page a day if you have littles that need to learn their letters. Even reading a page a week while you work on the "letter of the week" would be a nice option. I will probably use this more this fall with Little Bug when we work on more language arts and rhyming and of course as a great addition to our bible studies and studying the word.
You can connect with the Reformed Free Publishing Association on FACEBOOK and TWITTER. We give T is for Tree: A Bible ABC a thumbs up for being a great resource that not only teaches the alphabet but rhyming and God's word too!
