Fun lift-the-flap board book that motivates small children to use their eyes in a Christ-like way.
This helpful and engaging training tool will help parents to teach their kids that God didn’t make their eyes to look down on others, but for positive things like watching, blinking, squinting and winking.
Not only will children be encouraged to follow Jesus’ example, but they’ll also be reassured that he loves us no matter what we do. He can forgive us when we fail and help us to change.
This book is part of a series called Training Young Hearts, that addresses the attitudes of the heart that underpin behaviour and explains how the gospel of grace enables us to change.
Parents, teachers, and other loved ones can refer back to these resources when specific behaviours need both to be corrected and to be connected to forgiveness, grace and growth.
Training Young Hearts book series is a new lift-a-flap board book for little ones and their parents to enjoy together. As an educator, I find value in the formula of each book in this series, a few pages that ask questions (and you get the answers under the sturdy flap with simple, clear child-friendly illustrations).
First, the book talks about what to do with your eyes then what not to do, then teaches the child that Jesus was human and ...had eyes and used them to obey God with the Holy Spirit's help, just like the child can do! Each body part book repeats this same formula, with every page requiring a lifting of the flap, and examples that are natural child tendencies.
Are these books immensely creative and entertaining for the reader, not likely? But are they developmentally appropriate for the intended audience? Why yes they are. Will the format, style, and questions/answers appeal to the child who listens? Yes, they will.
Will people understand or misunderstand the concept of sin, as implied by other reviewers? I do not think it is a problem. I see this as a tool to train young hearts in how to use their bodies and in the basic concepts of faith from the youngest age.
I've already purchased the four-book set as a baby shower gift, finding the series worth the investment. I believe if you are reading to your child from a young age, this series is worth owning. Encourage your child to read, re-read, read alone, and ask every loving adult in their life to read again. I have other books from this stage of my children's lives still memorized and my kids are 14, 18, and 22. This would have been a much-preferred option than a book about pajamas, a cat, or goodnight, and far more worthy of learning.
I purchased these books on my own and am reviewing them to share with those looking for honest input.
Abbey Wedgeworth Has written another book in her Training Young Hearts series called What are Eyes For?
This cute toddler board book helps young children learn that God created their eyes to look upon the needs of others like Jesus did.
There are plenty of flaps to lift open inside making this book very engaging for little people with short ...attention spans.
The illustrations are bright and colorful. The little kids' pictures on each page are just too cute.
I would highly recommend this book to any Christian family, and it also would be a favorite in any church nursery.
I received What Are Eyes For? compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
What Are Eyes For? is the latest book in the Training Young Hearts series by Abbey Wedgeworth. This series was made to train toddlers while pointing them to the good news of the gospel. This volume in the series teaches young readers that God made their eyes to do many things like open and close and observe feelings on faces. It reminds ...them that their eyes weren’t made for glaring or looking down on others.
What Are Eyes For? includes flaps on each page for children to lift making it an interactive read. The illustrations are lovely and contain depictions of children of various ethnicities and abilities which I consider important in children’s literature. We are enjoying this lovely board book and can’t wait to read more in the Training Young Hearts series!
