Pirates, Mess Detectives, and a Superhero

This book is so exciting for me to get! It is a level 1 reader and I was so excited to get this to review because as a Christian school teacher there are not many Christian books that are readers that students can read on their own, when they are young. There are more books as they get older but this one helps them to sound out words and be able to read it on their own which is so great for students to be able to feel independent. I would suggest this book for anyone who works with children or is a parent of a young reader or knows of a young reader. What child doesn't love Veggie Tales? Big Ideas does such a phenomenal work with their Veggie Tales ministry. It reaches kids and helps them to see what God wants through what they might struggle with. It helps put a Christian principle to an every day struggle. Great book!

The Jesus Bible, NIV

I was so excited to order this book because I am going into teaching hopefully in a Christian school. This Bible has some incredible features such as character profiles, stories, and devotions for kids. I think this is a must have for children who are at the age that they can read and are starting to make their faith their own. This would be a great resource to have in Christian schools as well as in Churches so that children would see that churches and schools cater to them and don't just have the standard Black cover Bibles available. I find that if the Bibles are geared towards children they are more likely to read them and become way more interested in them instead of the plain old text. This Bible has so many features that would get students and children involved and excited about reading the Bible. Definitely a must have!
