I majored in religious studies in undergrad with a specialization in world religions. @TemperanceBrennan: I'll definitely have to check that book out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096936 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:34:17 +0000 ILoveLettie 2096936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: We have this one in the board book format and we love it! We read it to our 1-year-old regularly and I think it'll be a great tradition to read it the next few years. Very simple but not over simple and biblically-based, age appropriate telling of the story with good illustrations. I have "The Story of Christmas" from the same collection as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096927 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:28:34 +0000 jedeve 2096927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: @honeybear: I love Tomie dePaola! I think I might get his St. Patrick book. I went to the library and checked out a bunch of his books after starting this thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096921 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:23:22 +0000 jedeve 2096921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I'll have to check it out! I studied religious studies and anthropology song kids will learn all about different world views. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096838 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:32:50 +0000 rattles 2096838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're a little more babyish, but we love Virginia Esquinaldo's What Did Baby Jesus Do? and Baby Come to Church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096820 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:24:44 +0000 Grace 2096820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got this one for LO. It's about a boy on his way to church describing what he would do if he was there when Christ arose. Very cute. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/First-Easter-Touch-Feel-Book/dp/0824918924" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/First-Easter-Touch-Feel-Book/dp/0824918924</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096798 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:09:16 +0000 honeybear 2096798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love "Petook" by Caryll Houselander (pictures by Tomie de Paola) and so does my son. I think it's out of print now; I tracked down a used copy. It's the Easter story told from the perspective of a rooster, Petook. Sounds odd, but it is a nicely nuanced version of the story for little kids and the pictures are top-notch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096790 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:05:06 +0000 tinyperson 2096790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: God Gave us Easter is a good one (they have a Christmas one too)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096784 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:00:30 +0000 jhd 2096784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also getting the one @photojane: suggested also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096776 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:58:39 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2096776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw the post title and planned to recommend the "The Kids Book of World Religions" - I really like it, but I don't think that's really what you are going for :wink: </p> <p> My nieces/nephews have "God Gave us Easter" and I think the illustrations are beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096751 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:40:23 +0000 photojane 2096751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got this one for Sadie's Easter basket, it's a very age-appropriate telling of the Easter story: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Easter-Story-Patricia-Pingry/dp/0824955315" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-Easter-Story-Patricia-Pingry/dp/0824955315</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096723 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:24:39 +0000 Ms.Badger 2096723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest Tomie de Paola, his books are beautiful and remind me of my childhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/religious-books#post-2096668 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 12:49:46 +0000 jedeve 2096668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have any good religious books recommendations? Looking for some for Easter. We already have a couple of toddler Bible ones. </p> <p>Thinking about this one: </p> [attach=2423/15/nkr2uy.338x600.image.jpg]
