Seek-and-find book exploring eight more Old Testament stories, the characters within them and the character of our amazing God.
Seek & Find: More Old Testament Bible Stories contains eight more stories from the Old Testament with over 450 hidden things for young children to find, count, and sort as they interact with the Bible stories.
Both the retellings and illustrations are biblically faithful and children will learn all about eight well-known Old Testament characters, including Joseph, Elijah and Esther.
These are the Old Testament stories featured and the attributes of God they highlight:
Abraham and Sarah - God Is a Promise-Keeper
Joseph's Dream - We Can Trust God When Things Are Hard
Joseph in Egypt - God Has a Plan for All of Us
The Red Sea - Nothing Is Too Hard for God
Strong Samson - God Is Our Strength
Elijah and the Fire - God Is the One True God
Songs for God (Psalm 23) - God Loves Us to Talk to Him
Brave Esther - God Is Always in Control
This board book features eight double-page spreads with illustrations of scenes from the Old Testament. Sarah Parker introduces each story in a brief paragraph, and she includes both the Bible reference and a simple takeaway message from that story, such as, “We can trust God when things are hard.” The illustrations from André Parker visualize the story and include lots of little details for kids to look for based on the sidebar. The book includes multiple popular Old Testament Bible stories, including the story of Joseph, the parting of the Red Sea, and Esther.
Seek and Find: More Old Testament Bible Stories does not retell the stories in detail, so if someone is looking for a book with more information about each narrative, this won’t be their first choice. However, this is a great book to supplement family readings of each Bible story, or for kids who are already very familiar with the material. The illustrations include both historically accurate and whimsical details, but they never take liberties with the source material, and the characters reflect a variety of different skin tones, according to their real-life ethnic backgrounds.
This will be a fun gift book for kids, can be a supplement to family devotions, and would be a good activity book for a Sunday school or church preschool environment. It is also complex enough that it is not just for very young children. Younger kids can focus on the elements that are easier to find, while older kids will be able to find more and can do some of the additional challenges described inside the front covers. This is a great seek-and-find book that explores lessons from Bible stories in a simple and appealing way, and I highly recommend the whole series.
