The Story of Christmas written by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review







The Story of Christmas is a book about the story of the Nativity scene. It explained to kids how we are giving gifts because we are celebrating Jesus’ birthday and showing love to others. The true meaning of Christmas is found in the journey to a town called Bethlehem. Joseph and Mary were traveling and had no place to stay. They slept in the hay with cows and donkeys and had baby Jesus there. Shepherds and wise men were told by angels about baby Jesus being born and they travelled to pay their respects and to honor Him. 






 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to anyone aged 1-6. I loved how it discussed the true meaning of Christmas and how we really celebrate. It’s a great introduction book for little kids on learning about the Messiah being born and coming to change the world. I loved the bedtime night colors they used in the book to make it more like a bedtime story. 





"I received this book free from the publisher, Hachette Book Group/Faithwords/Worthy Kids for my honest review.”

The Story of Easter Written by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review







The Story of Easter is a children’s book about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. It covered briefly the message of Easter and did it in a way to teach children what the true meaning is. It begins by showing Spring time and bunnies and flowers blooming. It described Jesus as the Good Shepherd and how Palm Sunday started. We see his journey to the cross and how He has risen and it explained why we go to church to sing and worship. 




 

 

I would recommend this book to children aged 2-8. I immensely loved how colorful and detailed looking the animals were drawn and painted. I loved the air brushes they used and the whole book reminded me of Spring time and Easter. My favorite was the nature scenes and the animals hiding throughout the book. I think children will enjoy picking out all the animals. I enjoyed how it taught children about Jesus being the Good Shephard and how He loved us and died for sins. It’s a great beginner’s book about Easter and Jesus.

The Story of Abraham Lincoln Written by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review





The Story of Abraham Lincoln and how he was the sixteenth president of the United States. We celebrate his birthday on February 12. He was born in 1809 to a poor family. His mother passed away when he was 10 years old. He loved to read and write and he studied to become a lawyer. It discussed the issue of slavery and how he was opposed to it. This led to a divided country and the start of the Confederate States of America. He led us in the Civil War and he voted to end slavery by writing a proclamation. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book about Lincoln’s life to children aged 2-6. I immensely enjoyed how the book was a building block to start teaching history to our children. It keeps everything at their level and it’s not to heavy. It’s contained a very basic overall look at his life. I liked how it covered how against slavery he was and what he did to try and end it. The illustrations were very colorful and appealing to keep our children’s attention while they learn a little about history.

The Story of George Washington Written by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review






The Story of George Washington is a children’s book covering his life and it explained who we celebrate him on President’s Day. He was the first president of the United States and he is known as the father of our country. He was born on February 22, 1732. He is famously known for him chopping down a cherry tree in his childhood and he was very honest to openly to admit it. The book touched on what he did and how many farms he managed. It discussed the Revolutionary War and how he signed the U.S. Constitution. It revealed how the United States was named after him. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this children’s book to any child aged 2-6. It described the life of George Washington and the background where kids can easily learn about America and the first president. I immensely loved how it gave a quick overview of his life and it taught children history. This book could easily become the first building block of American history for our children. I loved how colorful the book was and how it helped to catch kid’s attention.

The Story of the Wise Men by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review

 


The Story of the Wise Men is a Christmas story about the wise men traveling to Bethlehem following the great star. They travelled to see the Great Messiah being born. They brought him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It is a classic tale of Jesus being born and told by the wise men. 

 


 

I would recommend this awesome Christmas book to kids aged 1-6. I loved how it taught the journey to Bethlehem and how they were able to meet Jesus. It showed the importance of the star and how it helped guide them to meet the Savior of the world. We need them being the first worshipper to Jesus. I loved the illustrations and how detailed they appeared and how it will teach our children the story of Jesus and the wise men.
