Tarah's Review:
I have a special place in my heart for children's books, and the colors and how bright and happy everything is in A is for Adam makes me very happy indeed.
A couple things I really liked about this book is first, the words. I thought the author did a great job of paraphrasing each person or quality. I also liked how there were qualities, like obedience, in there. Good lessons for my children. Very well written. I was pleased to see a page of review for letters A-L and what they stood for, and at the end a page of M-Z and what they stood for. I'm thinking of all kinds of activities I could do for that. I like how the inside page right when you open and close the book are colorful and have the alphabet on them instead of just a blank white page.
My 6 year old daughter didn't really love the silly illustrations, like on the Good Samaritan he got hit in the head with a golf ball while on the golf course. She just didn't understand why the funny things were in the pictures, and she struggled with that. While I love the colors and the pictures are well done, I do agree with her that some of them were just too silly. My 4 year old didn't have a problem with it though. Her favorite picture was Shadrac and him singing with sunglasses in the fire with his buddies.
