Concept books work in a similar way to wordless picture books. Either the adult adds meaning as suggested by the minimal text that accompany the illustrations, or the child can admire the pictures independently.
A Child’s First Illustrated Book of Bible Words introduces key Scriptural vocabulary (Bible, cross, disciple, forgive…repent, sanctify, trust, wisdom) along with a Bible verse, simple definition, and lovely illustration. Although there is no narrative, the pictures suggest an event that may open interaction between caregiver and little one.
Bottom Line: A Child’s First Illustrated Book of Bible Words is a sweet concept board book suitable for home or church nursery libraries.
