Who made the World? was read immediately after I received a package from Tyndale in the mail. It was perfect because if was nap time so I sat down with my youngest kids and read through it. I love the rhyming words and how simple the answers of many questions the children can have about how God created the world.
At first the rhymes come from a child who is speaking to God then at some point in the book God answers back. It simply go through the creation and tell the child how after creating everything on earth, God took a day of rest. It also gives ideas on how to thank him for creating the world - Enjoy every day, be kind, don't litter and so on. God even answers the famous question - Who made Him? And every answer is backed with scriptures at the end of the book. When the child is older you can easily show him/her the scripture from the Bible and discuss it with him/her.
The drawings that you will see on every page are simply amazing. The illustrator did a great job to incorporate the words found in the text in the picture as well as making the images irresistibly cute. All the characters and animals are just beautiful but my favorite above all of them are the ladybugs that you find every now and then around the book. What can I say? I'm biased on the little creature... *grin*
This little book is perfect for a gift when there is a baptism or a dedication of a child. They are also wonderful for homeschoolers with little ones in the house. Perfect for a time of devotion or just learning more about the Creation while the older kids go through a more complicated project on the same subject.

Satisfy their Curiosity with the Truth
Oct 5 2009
By Farrah Brown
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
From the moment Lucas could talk, he has been asking questions. He wanted to know everything about everything. Still does. "Mommy, talk about trees. Talk about lightening. Talk about mud or firetrucks or freight trains." I was explaining photosynthesis and the definition of nocturnal to my 2 year, because he asked. He is a very bright, very verbal, very cerebral kid. And as he gets older, the questions are not waning. Just getting more complex. "Mommy, who made God? How do people who live in heaven walk on the clouds? Why do some animals eat plants and others eat meat?"
And along with being a curious kid, he is also an avid reader. Well, he isn't quite reading alone. But he loves to be read to and to learn what the books say so he can " read" them to himself. When I was first introduced to the Ouestions for Little Hearts books (from author Kathleen Bostrom), I knew they would be a good fit for us. Having lost our first son before Lucas was born, we talk a lot about heaven around here. Lucas knows he has an older brother in heaven and that we will see him again someday. But those discussions themselves lead to lots of other questions about heaven and God and other spiritual matters. These are questions that I love to talk abut with him but I don't always have the answers. And that is exactly why I love these books.
The most recent one's we read were "Who Made the World?" and "What is the Bible?" And just like the others in this series that we have loved, these books captivated Lucas' attention and sparked lots of questions. The books always start with a list of questions your toddler may have about the world or the Bible or prayer or heaven.
"What was the hardest, and what was most fun? "The planets or the stars or the people- which one? If you had it all to do over again, would you make the world as you did way back them?
The second half of the book if written as if God is speaking to your preschooler, directly answering his/her questions.
"Nothing was hard; I enjoyed every minute. I love the whole world! I love everything in it! If I could go back, I would not change a thing. But wait till you see what the future will bring!"
If your kids are like mine, the poetic answers will be only the beginning of answering the questions. This is when I turn to the last few pages of the book. They break it down page by page and list the scripture reference that backs up the reply. The references for the above quoted passages are: Genesis 1:31 "God looked over all He had made, and he saw that it was very good!" Also, Revelation 4:11 and Revelation 21:1. After reading "Who Made the World?" Lucas and I had a good talk about the creation story and what it means to be part of God's creation. Lucas asked, "If God made the world, then who made God?" Good question, little man. The references in the back of our book list Revelation 22:13, "I am ... the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Not exactly a clear-cut answer, but that is not exactly a clear-cut question. It did, however, explain it a little more and give us me some words to use to talk about God's eternal nature with my 3yr. old.
So, as I have said before, we are big fans of the Little Blessings books. The author, Kathleen Bostrom, is an ordained minister and pastor's wife. Her explanations are poetic (aka: easy to read and not annoying if you have to read them over and over), thorough and yet kid-friendly. When reading these to my boys, they are entertained and instructed all at once. And as a mom of boys who have LOTS of questions, I love that! I can't recommend them enough. There are so many in this series that I'm sure you could find the perfect one for your little questioner.

We love this book! I have two children (4 and 2) who are filled with questions. The beginning asks many questions which are answered in the second section of the book. Its a perfect bedtime book with its calming pictures and quiet verse. I appreciate having the bible verse references in the back. My son, Adam, enjoys Genesis so we read this book often.
