CLOSED: 'I CAN READ' with Zonderkidz (+12 Book Pack Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I love Zonderkidz and love how they have books to engage even the youngest of all readers. Best of all, they're all Word based. What a wonderful way to introduce young children to the Word of God and at the same time encourage a love for books.

We're trying to get Bunny girl to identify small words through Phonic sounds and Alphabet identification, we haven't got it nailed yet but we'll get there soon. Zonderkidz has a lovely collection of about 128 'I CAN READ' books that are suited for beginning readers, developing readers and confident readers.

We were sent a 12 Book Pack of 'I CAN READ' books, appropriate to Bunny girl's age.
4 of the 12 books were Bible story based while the other 8 were 'lesson themed' by story.

Jesus Feeds the People is from 'The Beginner's Bible' series and introduces the young reader to the story of Jesus' miracle of feeding the hungry multitudes with the offered 5 loaves and 2 fish.
Moses, God's Brave Servant is a 'developing reader' book that summarizes the story of Moses as a baby to him leading the Israelites across the Red Sea, after God sends the different plagues....all in 32 pages.
Noah and God's Great Promise is another 'developing reader' book that narrates the story of Noah's obedience to God's command to build an ark and fill the same with 2 of every animal. It centers around God's Faithfulness to His Promise to Noah, to keep him and the inhabitants of the ark safe.
Jesus, God's Only Son highlights the betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of God. This, too, is a 'developing reader' book.

I personally didn't like the illustrations in the 'developing reader' books as I felt they looked more like comic strip characters that may have been better suited for older kids than 4-6 year olds.

Kathy Jo Wargin's Frank and Beans 'Reading With Help' series are about a little boy called Frank and his pet dog Beans. Each story has a lesson tied in for the young reader to learn.

The Lessons we learnt from :

Frank and Beans was to be patient, to trust God and to be responsible and caring.
Frank and Beans and the Grouchy Neighbor was to care for and love others irrespective of the way they act/behave.
Frank and Beans and the Scary Campout was that God is always watching over us even when we think we're alone and when we're scared.
Frank and Beans and S'more Trouble was that it's important to be patient....even with little pets.

Our favorite of all 12 books, were these 4 books from the Little David series.

We love Crystal Bowman. Bunny girl's favorite book by her is 'Mommy May I Hug the Fish' and we do the daily devotions from the One Year Book of Daily Devotions for Preschoolers.

The 'Beginning Reader' series are about David, the smallest mouse in the mouse family. Each story, again, has a special lesson that is woven into the storyline.

Little David's brave day runs along the lines of the David and Goliath story, only here Goliath is a big old pussy cat.David trusts God and bravely chases Goliath away.
(Lesson in Goodness)

Little David and his best friend is about little David and his best buddy, the King's son Jon. Both little mice enjoy each other's company but after a while need to go separate ways because of the King's jealous displeasure towards little David.
(Lesson in God's Constancy)

Little David sings for the King narrates David's sadness in not being able to keep up with all that his big brothers do but one day only little David is able to fit the role of cheering up the king because a special gift God has blessed him with.
(Lesson in trusting God for big things)

Little David's big heart parallels the story of young David being chosen as the future King of Israel. In this story too there is a jealous king but little David the mouse chooses to honor the king and sends with his brothers a special present for the king even though he was purposely not invited to the king's party.
(Lesson in trusting God)

These books will not only bless the young reader's heart but also touch every grown up reading along with him/her.
