When I chose a book for a child, especially a young child, I first look at the illustrations. They must draw the child into the story and capture and hold their interest. The illustrations in this book are wonderful! Big pages full of colorful images that illustrate the text.

After looking at the

illustrations I then will read the text to see if it has something interesting to relate to a child. This book does. Thank you, God for all the wonderful things in the world from the sun, to the people, to animals, plants, etc. It is not overly religious and would be appropriate for any religion that believes in a God.

Thank You, God is a sweet book for young children. The story and beautifully illustrated images remind children to give thanks to God for the gifts he has given us, from a simple hug to a roof over our heads. I teach at a church preschool, and I would definitely share this book with my class or our

church nursery.

I won this book in ER last month from Eerdmans Books for Young Readers. I am thankful I did because I read this book with my 6 children and they easy and quickly grasped the point of gratitude. They all enjoyed the pictures and they personalized each page in this fun book. Thank you for picking me.

Another beautifully written story by J. Bradley Wigger, taking the reader on a delightful journey. It's a story of love and encouragement for every child and adult. Starting with creation, so thankful for the sun's light and being grateful for God's love keeping us all together through the night.

This beautiful book is a must for every home and Sunday school library. The lyrical style helps children to be grateful for food, family, friends and their homes. The beautiful illustrations are so vibrant and charming, filled with soft warm colors. I especially like reading the part about sharing stories and singing songs. Over all, the book renews a hopeful perspective of trusting God and letting your heart dance, surrounded by His love and grace. Definitely brings the whole family together with purpose!

This was a cute, fun book for kids. The illustrations were good and I love that the story was about thanking God for all we have in our lives. My kids enjoyed it very much. This is the first kid's book I received to review, I have to say I was pretty disappointed that it was just the paper. So it

was very difficult to read to my kids. The paper was not attached together so it would just fall out and make it hard to read. For a better experience and review, maybe you should send the actual book not the paper.
