God Gave Us You Review
As Mama bear tucks her youngest cub under the quilts, she gently, tenderly, and reassuringly communicates the message loving parents everywhere (bears and non-bears alike) want their little ones to hear: "We wanted you very, very much, and we are so very glad because--"God gave us you." Perfect for bedtime, naptime, storytime or anytime, God Gave Us You provides a valuable opportunity to build children's self-esteem every day and assure each one that he or she truly is a welcomed, precious, and treasured gift from the Lord. User Submitted God Gave Us You ReviewsOctober 16, 2008 A Precious Book This book is wonderful!! It explains the subject of where we come from in a thoughtful, truthful, and biblical manner. It's heartwarming, and my daughter absolutely loves it. She feels so special (as she should) when we read it and apply it to her. We actually have used this book to talk a little bit about the upcoming birth of our next baby. My daughter completely understands that her mommy's tummy is going to get bigger and bigger as the baby gets bigger and bigger just like the polar bear in God Gave Us You. June 30, 2008 My FAVORITE book for baby so far! I absolutely love this book! I cried the first time I read it and still do! What a gift from God, indeed, a child is and it is refreshing to talk about God's role in our childrens' lives. I have looked at and purchased many books in preparation for my little one, and this one BY FAR impressed me most. I highly recommend this book if you want to talk about God and you sheer joy for your baby! April 29, 2008 I'm not religious but... I'm not religious at all and I am not sure what we will do when it comes to believing in god. I think we will tell her about god and she can decide later what she wants to believe but this book is just adorable!It tells your child how important they are to you and how you would never "trade" them for any other baby. The book describes how your parents will always love you because you are were chosen just for them. I love how they talk about the excitement of the baby, getting a bigger belly during pregnancy and going to the hospital. Then at the end the little bear goes to bed happy because she knows how much her parents love her! I am going to buy "God Gave Us Two" because we are expecting another baby in a couple weeks!! February 20, 2008 For my 3 year old granddaughter I bought this book for my granddaughter, because I knew she was at an age where the question was going to come up, "mommy, where did I come from. It answers those questions in a wonderful way, with soothing words and beautiful illustrations. A lovely book, my daughter cried when she read it, because of the touching story and because, she knew that is how I felt about her too!God Gave Us You November 30, 2007 A beautiful answer; God Gave Us you! God Gave Us You is a beautiful moving story. The best children's book I have come across. It begins with one simple question from a little cub "Mama, where did I come from?" Mama Bear then begins to explain in a gentle loving way her progression of pregnancy up until the moment little bear was placed in her arms; each page ending with the beautiful answer of "God Gave Us You". The use of the phrases such as "my special child", "even the angels celebrated for us", "we wouldn't trade you for the world", all reassure the child of how much she is truly loved. My daughter is 3 years old and knows the words by heart, as do I. I could read it with my eyes closed, and often do. I am so thankful to have found this book; a story both child AND parent will truly enjoy. I HIGHLY recommend this book and the spin-offs. We also enjoy "God Gave Us Two", and "God Gave Us Christmas". LOVE! November 24, 2007 Wonderful, sweet Great book overall: story, drawings, idea. Nice to find a picture book on the subject that is for believers and written for kids. Can't wait to get God gave us two! November 5, 2007 Wonderful story for children I purchased this book for my son last year for Christmas. In fact, he got two copies! This is a favorite for us at bedtime - but I usually can't make it through without crying. We love the pictures, too. Especially the polar bear angels! Overall, this is a wonderful book for children, especially miracle children you never thought God would give you. October 17, 2007 Disappointed The story does not just talk about the child being a gift from God, it goes in to detail about the mom being pregnant. Our daughter was adopted and not appropriate for our situation. September 21, 2007 Best Book Ever!! This is the BEST BEST BEST book in my opinion. Each page describes how the mama bear and daddy bear wanted a family, and they waited, and her belly grew bigger and they prayed each night for a healty baby, etc.. It's just such a great book. Each page ends with the phrase, "God Gave Us You!" When I read this book to my baby I point up her tummy to her nose each time I saw the 'God Gave us You' part and she always smiles. August 13, 2007 Perfect for a godchild! I'm always looking for great books for my godson. This book is just so sweet! For more God Gave Us You reviews click here.
