Technically, these books don't exactly fit my standards for this feature. Technically, they're board books. As such, they're not exactly going to appeal to your upper elementary reader. Unlike many animal or opposites board books, though, they'll grow with your tot. Each concept is illustrated in a simple way. We see concepts like light and dark or an image of an animal. Then, for the slightly older child, we're given a Bible verse that illustrates the idea and puts it into a larger context. For a child growing up in a religious family, religion can sometimes feel disconnected from the rest of life. Books like these build a foundation of greater life context for young children.
