MY TIDBITS

The sweet rhymes bring across many precious moments kids spend with their grandmother, be it hiking, eating ice cream, sick in bed or going to sleep.

This is a small and stout board book, just right for younger listeners hands. The pages are sturdy and allow for many flips and flops as kids search and discover moments they will recognize from their own lives. Grandmothers take center stage as young listeners visit all of the things they can experience with their grandmas. Some are fun, some quiet and caring, while other experiences come when she simply dries tears.

Each page holds a small rhyme. The topic is written clearly at the top and decorated with lovely flowers. There's a simple Bible verse on each two-page spread which relates to the rhymes. The illustrations care done with the well-known, Precious Moments' style. They offer enough details for young listeners to easily understand what is happening and grasp the emotions involved.

It's a sweet read and a wonderful homage to grandmothers, while still remembering how they help strengthen the faith and are a part of God's blessings.

MY TIDBITS

Thanks and good feelings abound in these reflections about the blessings received during our daily lives.

This is a sturdy, thick board book, perfectly made for small hands. The cover is slick and easy to wipe off from small accidents, and will hold up to a little more rough treatment. Each two-page spread holds a short poem (sometimes two), which reflect a couple things to be thankful for, according to each two-page theme. There is also a short Bible verse to reflect on.

Thanks for silly songs...thanks for playtime...thanks for clouds and all sorts of, even sometimes, silly sounds. This small book hits a broad span of all the things kids, especially younger ones, can be thankful for. The themes are usually very broad and appropriate for children in many situations, making it easy for almost any little one to relate too. The poems change in length, tempo, rhyme and attitude, giving the pages as much variety as the things being thanked for. Each one is short and sweet, keeping it to a short attention span while still making the point loud and clear.

The illustrations, as is with Precious Moments, are cute and radiate warmth and love. The kids are depicted in various activities, each one clearly holding emotions which even young listeners can pick up on. It's simply a sweet collection, which reminds how much God's given us and how even the smallest things in life make the biggest smiles.
