5 great books that will help young children begin to know the Lord and learn Biblical truth.

Here are 5 top books for babies & toddlers

1. Whatever is Lovely by Susie Poole. From an excellent series of board books applying the bible to toddlers. This one is based on Philippians 4:8-9.

2. Peek a Bible lift the flap books from Candle. This series contain interactive stories for example: ‘Jonah goes Overboard’. Great for toddlers who long to fiddle with those flaps.

3. Bible Friends Bible Stories by Maggie Barfield: extracted from the Big Bible Story Book these are very robust and have great photographic illustrations.

4.  Everything a Child Should know about God by Kenneth Taylor. Systematic theology for toddlers upwards to about age 6! Child–friendly language explains essential Bible truths.

And 5. Stories Jesus Told by Butterworth and Inkpen. A series on Jesus’ parables. The best one is The Precious Pearl. All need a bit of extra explanation but beautifully written and illustrated.

So five great books for babies and toddlers. Excellent as gifts for others or for your own children.
