Little & Big Things Jesus Did: Exploring OPPOSITES Through the Miracles of Jesus

By Karen Rosario Ingerslev

I am a fan of books which merge faith and early years learning; the 'Bible Explorers' series of books, of which 'Little & Big Things Jesus Did' is part, do that brilliantly.

Each book clearly explains which area of development is mixed with which Bible story; for example, ‘123 Nativity’ bills itself as “exploring numbers through the story of Christmas”. An excellent way for my two-year-old to learn his numbers while hearing the Nativity story.

I have seen, and own, similar style books but I really like the unique books in this series covering Bible stories I haven’t seen explored in this way – like ‘Happy Sad Mean Joseph’s Dream’. It’s also nice to see the story of Noah sharing something other than animals in ‘Red Yellow Blue Noah’s Zoo’. The rhyming element of these books makes them great fun to read and entertaining to listen to.

In addition to being great stories to share together, my five-year-old also enjoyed reading them himself; the language is simple enough for a learner reader. He enjoyed the humorous parts – such as Jesus in a pot of jam from ‘ABC God Loves Me’. The illustration is simple but beautiful. The contemporary colour schemes would look great on any bookshelf. My children and I enjoyed these books and they became classics in our home.
