Rose Academy: T is for Tree Review

Reformed Free Publishing Association recently published this adorable children's picture book by Connie L. Meyer. T is for Tree: A Bible ABC is beautifully illustrated. Each page includes a little rhyme and then a Bible verse to read. Each page leads the reader through the alphabet with each letter introducing a new topic.

What a fun way to learn about God's word! I can think of all kinds of possibilities for those who teach little ones. I think my favorite way to use this book would be to study one letter per week and make a fun lesson out of learning the letter while also memorizing the Bible verse (or a shorter portion of a longer verse). There are so many fun ways for young children to engage in God's word!

The illustrations in this sweet hardcover title are beautifully done. Each page is full color with high interest images surrounded by colorful borders that hold the child's interest while giving plenty of opportunities for discussions. Here are some sample page images so you can understand what I mean about the colorful, high interest borders.

I love how each page includes a meaningful Bible verse. There really is so much opportunity for discussion here. I can see multiple ways for tying these verses to other lessons in the Bible. Use the illustrations as discussion points for you and your child. The possibilities are simply endless.

I think my favorite page is the letter "J" which stands for jewels. The little rhyme compares knowledgeable lips to rubies and precious jewels. The verse that goes along with this page is Proverbs 20:15, which states, " There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel." The really interesting thing about this particular page is that the border also features an additional verse: Proverbs 8:10-11 which tells about wisdom being better than rubies. I appreciate the sophisticated language used throughout the book and love the emphasis on scripture and Biblical principles.
