I was struck by the fact that he&#8217;s a man who radiates love and joy.  In this lovely little book, you can share some of that joy with your young children.<\/p>\n<p>The text in this book is very simple and overtly religious, with pages that say things like this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dogs, cats, all animals and creeping things on earth, praise God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The colorful pictures show the parts of creation named as they praise and bless God.  I love that an outstanding children&#8217;s illustrator created this book for a big commercial publisher.  This is a lovely little book for parents of any religion that worships God to share with their young children.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple.  It&#8217;s joyful.  It&#8217;s lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Praise God!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0399254781\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/sing_praise.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/sing_praise.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Source: This review is based on a library book from the Fairfax County Public Library.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let the Whole Earth Sing Praise by Tomie dePaola G.
