About the book:
This beautiful gift book makes a wonderful addition to the award-winning Candle Day by Day collection. The story of Jesus's life is told over forty days, and presented in the elegant day-by-day styling with page borders and richly colored pictures. Includes an introductory note to suggest how the book could be used.

My Review:

Candle Day by Day Walk with Jesus is a beautiful little hardcover book to share with little ones about the story of Jesus.  It is a gift sized book but also just the right size for a child’s hands.  Starting from His birth and ending with His ascension, it is filled with lovely illustrations that help children to visualize the story being told.  Each story is only one page and would only take a few minutes to read to your child and also includes a question or statement that can open up more of a discussion.  Meant to be read in 40 days it could be used as a beginning devotional for young children.  I think it would make a great book to go with the Advent season as well.  This is a compact book that brings the story of Jesus’s birth, life, death, and resurrection into understandable snippets for even very young children.

About the book:

The award-winning Candle Day by Day Bible is now available in a spiral-bound desk calendar format. All of a child's favorite stories and illustrations are easily accessible and on view all day long. One story per day.

My Review:

Candle Day by Day Bible in a year is a flip calendar that takes you and your child through the whole Bible in short little snippet stories meant to read on each day of the year.  It is filled with eye catching illustrations and the stories would only take a couple minutes to read.  Again, this would make a great discussion starter with your child.  My 6 year old is really looking forward to using this next year as he likes the idea of flipping over to a new day.  He is just beginning to read but I look forward to the time in 2017 when he will be reading these to me.  I plan to pair this with his little calendar to help him understand his days, months, and years better.  A great teaching tool of not only the Bible but calendars as well.  This is a little larger than your usual flip calendar, but I think that is a bonus since this is meant for a child’s use and really the illustrations are just lovely.

I received both of these books free of charge from the publisher.  I was not required to leave positive reviews and the views expressed are my own.
