My Take:
This is a hardback book for younger children. The illustrations are nicely done, colorful and very attractive. There are really not many words on each page. The highest I counted was 11 and that was only one place in the book. The rest of the pages probably averaged 3-6 large size words.
It talks about how God's great love is created the world and everything including "you". Then goes on to mention how God's great love is with you - where and when. The main character is the little girl on the front, which is super cute by the way, except to me it kind of makes the book a little "girlish". You know geared toward girls. I don't really think that is the authors intent, but she is on almost every page and there was only one page with a boy. I have a boy... so I know how boys might think (smile).
Overall, I think the book is beautiful! It would make a really wonderful gift for a special little one in your life. On a side note, there is one missing fact and that is that God loved us so much He sent His son to save us. For that I can only give it 4 stars instead of 5 - Knowing about God's love is amazing, but knowing what He is willing to do because He loves us is even more amazing.

It looks like a wonderful book - but I do agree with you that it might be perceived as girlish. My boys both loved a book called "The Three Robbers" lynne_foster(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
