Quack Quack Polka: A Fun Tune to Say You Are Wonderfully Made

The Little Buds series, of which this book is a part, contains DVDs, CDs and books all with a holistic view of learning; they teach Christian virtues along with counting and phonics. The author says it's "like a Christian Sesame Street." This book, Quack Quack Polka, was written to highlight the letter 'Q'. It offers an interactive rhyme founded on Psalm 139:14: "I will praise Thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" While the Scripture is quoted only once at the back of the book (with reference), the poem is actually repeated three times in the book. The second time is meant to be read quickly and the third time quietly. The last page encourages readers to shout the final verse of the poem: "I'm so happy how God made me!" The illustrations by Laura Dreyer are bold and playful. They provide much interest without too many details. What I Like: My kids love this book! I like that it's colorful and sturdy. The size is nice, 7 x 7". Also, it teaches a great lesson: kids should be just who God made them to be and allow others to be who God made them to be. What I Dislike: The subtitle of the book is "A fun tune to say you are wonderfully made," but if you're not familiar with the Little Buds series, you won't know the tune. It's not provided with the book, nor is there any mention on the book about the correlation. Chanting works just fine for us! Overall Rating: Very Good. Tanya -- Christian Children's Book Review
