Tell Me about Love

This is an incredible little book, thoughfully and carefully written and beautifully illustrated. It can be read as a surface story of a family and their dog, but the scriptures at the beginning and end point to its real meaning, an explanation of Jesus' love and sacrifice. It's simple enough for a child to understand and complex enough to have adults thinking deeply about what love means. The questions and answers at the back are very helpful, as are the suggestesd activities. My six-year-old loves this book, and I've used it as a devotional message with adults and kids!

A truly moving book! I have all three of the books in the Big Topics for Little Kids series. My kids love them all. I've never seen an online way to view an entire book... but if you go to the author's site (search for bigtopicsforlittlekids) and you'll be able to flip through every page of these beautiful books online!

I purchased this book for my preschooler as a way to introduce the message of salvation. This book is a fantastic parallel to the simple message of salvation. The author uses a dog that saves her family as their house burns down. It shows how the family loved the dog, and how the dog loved the family. The book then tells of the night "that changed everything". It is somewhat sad, but so is what Jesus did for us on the cross. While the story is sad, it is also heartwarming, and full of compassion. The issustrations are captivating for little ones. It also includes a question and answer session in the back in case your child has any questions. Wonderful book!
