This book reminded me of the kid Christian books we had that came with a record when I was a child. The pictures are engaging and the riddles are cute and the kids will even learn Biblical truth which is a great thing! When you can read something fun and learn truth at the same time it makes it even better.

Here is one of my favorites:
Why is Jesus like a shoemaker? Because he heels soles.
