Each page shows a realistic color illustration of the animal with text giving some interesting information about the creature. For example, some have a different modern name than what was used in the Bible, such as the pygarg (a type of wild goat). You learn the context in which the animal is mentioned and see the specific verse at the bottom of the page. The text was interesting and used some great vocabulary for children to learn. There are many references to something being an unclean animal (not to be eaten) which was fascinating. Animals are shown alphabetically and include things like badger, eagle, goat, ibex, mouse, owl, quail, tortoise and more. I liked how this book ties the Bible to the world around us. 8 x 8 44pp, hc. ~ Sara
God watches when the doe gives birth to her fawn. He makes the leopard swift to hunt its prey. From the exotic ibex to the more commonly-known tortoise, these and the other wonderful creatures of this book will delight children and parents during an exploration of where each animal appears in Scripture!
The 44 Animals of the Bible are:
God cares for the animals and He wants us to do the same, as they represent some of the most amazing and unique creatures that He has designed. Learn their importance and connections to biblical events and develop a cultural understanding of their place in the Bible with this delightful presentation.
I want to get my kids interested in the Bible and they love animals, the is a way to get them to see the Bible in a new way
We are doing Zoology this coming year and thought having a Bible study on animals would go well with the learning of each animal.
Science personal Bible study.
I wanted an animal book for my 4 year old to enjoy. I really like that its about animals mentioned in the bible.
