Review:
| I am absolutely in LOVE with the illustrations in this book. The children are adorable, the colors are vibrant, and the animals are amazingly lifelike. The text of the book is the lyrics to the song by the same title, which I remember singing as a child. Each page has only one or two lines of text, which makes it even easier to focus on the illustrations. The combination of the text and illustrations provide a multitude of opportunities to discuss God's creations, and the wonder of them all. I also liked that the final page includes a cute little bunny along with a scripture about Creation. **I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own** |
Rating: Five stars
About the artist
Katy Hudson was raised in Middlesbrough, England, and started her career as a small child drawing on freshly painted walls. Her parents quickly encouraged drawing with pencil and paper instead. The idea stuck, and after earning a degree in illustration, Katy is now a freelance illustrator. Katy works at a desk in a studio within Old London Library and likes to tap dance in her spare time.
