Hooked on the Book - a review by Foster

I'm happy to share with all my readers a wonderful new book I just received. Liz and Jack Hagler are wonderful Love and Logic parents that I have known for years. And they have completed a monumental work.

Hooked on the Book is monumental, splendiferous, book for kids – and, for adults. The book devotes two pages to each Bible chapter and is a great overview review for almost all of us. Not only are the verses fun to read and the pictures and expressions a joy to behold, but the timelines helped me put the bible stories into context that I, myself, hadn’t previously known – like Ruth’s son being the grandfather of David, or that the story of Job took place about the same time as the Genesis stories.

I’m writing this note just before Thanksgiving, and my grandchildren will shortly arrive. And I can hardly wait to read portions of this book to them. I want to excite them with the 10 commandments translated for kids see how they take to the illustrations of proverbs.

There are many hundreds of illustrations in this 96 page book. And I’m anticipating the pure joy of sitting down with it and my grandchildren.

Their website at http:www//hookedonthebook.com/ contains lots of fun learning experiences for parents, teachers and children.

Really, I cannot say enough about this valuable book.
