MY TIDBITS
There are twelve devotions, each one starting with a very short Bible verse and followed by an 8-line poem. The entire thing wraps up with a short thought which wraps the meaning back in tune with the verse for that night.
The illustrations are sweet and full of love, perfect for setting the sleepy mood at the end of the day. They hold moments of familiarity which toddlers can easily relate to and might point out things they recognize.
The poems don't always flow perfectly, but they hold the nice loving atmosphere of a last bedtime moment. The words will hit home gently with parents as well as the young listeners. Some words are highlighted in bold...perhaps, for discussion or special emphasis. Each poem is sweet and leads to think or notice something from the daily life. It's a nice beginning devotional for younger listeners.
I received a complimentary copy through Booklook Bloggers and enjoyed reading through it enough to want to leave my honest thoughts.
