"Believe Storybook: Think, Act, Be Like Jesus" by Randy Frazee is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated book. Recommended for ages 4 and up, each chapter:
As an adult, I appreciated the effort the author took to bring the Old Testament stories and associate them with the New Testament stories about Jesus. Also, it is a large, hardcover book, perfect to be shared with your favorite little person on your lap or seated next to you.
- starts with a key question (e.g. How do I best use my resources to serve God and others?),
- includes a paraphrased story from the Old Testament (e.g. Moses asking the Israelites to help build a tabernacle using whatever skills or resources they had)
- relates that Old Testament story to Jesus, and ties that in with a paraphrased New Testament reading (e.g. the story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus),
- shows how Jesus is the answer and how we can be more like Him.
- ends with a key idea and Bible verse.
