Some books feel like treasures from the very first page … and this little board book is one of them! My First 100 Bible Words is filled with bright, engaging illustrations that invite toddlers to look again and again … the kind of book that quickly becomes a favorite on the shelf and in the lap.
Each word is rooted in the stories of Scripture: Noah and the ark, Moses and the burning bush, David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den, and the birth of Jesus. The pairing of simple words with these timeless moments gently plants seeds of truth, giving children language to name their world and faith to begin knowing the God who made it.
I especially love how perfectly this book fulfills its purpose: teaching first words through the lens of the Bible while also being endlessly re-readable. The illustrations glow with warmth, and the thoughtful choices of words bring both joy and familiarity.
Every page feels like a seed of Scripture being tucked into a little heart. Perfect for bedtime, family devotions, or everyday play, it’s a gift that toddlers will return to with delight… and parents will cherish sharing.
For little ones learning their very first words and for families who want those words to be shaped by Scripture this book shines with beauty and purpose.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I am not required to write a positive review nor paid to do so. This is my honest and unbiased review. My thoughts and opinions expressed in this book and audiobook review are my own. My review focuses on the writing, illustrations, and content ensuring transparency and reliability.
Planting God’s Word in little hearts is one of the most powerful investments we can make in the lives of children. When they grow up with Scripture, it becomes a foundation of strength, guidance, and love that shapes their character and future. Just as seeds need care to flourish, children need consistent nurturing through prayer, stories, and encouragement. Instilling God’s Word early helps them walk in faith and wisdom. It’s similar to crafting with precision, where each detail matters—like the excellence found in the best embroidery digitizing work. Both require patience, dedication, and love to produce beautiful, lasting results.
