I just love this beautiful old hymn. Introducing it to children is the right thing to do. It teaches the Creation of all things. It teaches the power of God who "made them all." And it is truly lovely.

Colorful with minimal details, the illustrations have lots of items and discussion points. I would suggest that the beautiful melody of this hymn be played (YouTube or some other online version is an option.) so the child can learn to sing it.

The only fault I find in this book is that on some pages the text is rather dark and against a dark background. This makes it difficult to read. Truly though, this is a book I highly recommend.

I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine, alone and are freely given.

This book checks all the boxes for a great children's book. Does is flow well when read aloud? Yes. Do the illustrations support the text?  Yes. Is the illustrator's technique masterful? Yes. Will the book interest the intended reader? Yes. Can you imagine yourself reading this book 100 times? This is the litmus test of all litmus tests! Yes. I have always loved the words to this poem/hymn by Cecil Frances Alexander. Thank you Jean Claude for illustrating this beautiful book.
