Children's Books That Teach About Character

[Lucy Hamilton]

Ya just can't miss with the Bible

Hey you, there's a lot in The Bible that gets a bit violent

IKR? Our kids loved little David slaying the giant Goliath, they enjoyed a lot of the Bible, Noah's ark, the splitting of the Red Sea, etc.

I mean the gouging eyes out and stuff like that, stuff that makes me have to hide under my bed

Children's Bible is okay

Backyard Books series helps overcome any fears of spiders. My children came with phobias and are overcoming them. Good science too.

Are you a Lady bug?
Are you a Spider?
Are you a Bee?
Are you a Butterfly?
Are you a Grasshopper?
Are you an Ant?
Are you a Snail?
