Bible Basics: A Baby Believer Counting Primer Review & Giveaway

by Sally Matheny

Bible Basics 

My last book review and giveaway in November is a board book for toddlers. The content in Bible Basics is just as robust as its construction.

The author, Danielle Hitchen, and the illustrator, Jessica Blanchard, are mothers who care about the spiritual formation of little ones. Hitchen’s book grew out of her need to find books that teach theological basics of the Christian faith to the youngest members of the family.  

Bible Basics “teaches the Bible and core tenets of Christianity” using quotations mostly from the Bible (ESV) and (NIV). Also included is a quotation from St. Augustine and one from the hymn, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.”

This is a meaty book. Babies and toddlers will enjoy the bright pastel illustrations while being exposed to theological concepts and six passages of scripture.

The concepts are:

Beautiful Art in Bible Basics Counting Primer

1 God

2 natures of Jesus

3 persons of Trinity

4 Gospels

5 books in the Pentateuch

6 days of creation

7 I AM’s of Jesus

8 beatitudes

9 fruits of the Spirit

10 Commandments

Some of the concepts will be challenging for young ones. But this is a beautiful, grow-with-me kind of book for children to enjoy as they learn and grow in their faith.
