Rufus and Ryan Go to Church! ~ Book Review and Giveaway

Recently I was given the opportunity to read a super sweet board book for review.

Rufus and Ryan Go To Church!

In Rufus and Ryan Go to Church!, four-year-old Ryan explains to his stuffed monkey, Rufus, what is happening as they attend church on Sunday morning. He lets Rufus know when it’s time to sing and to pray and to be quiet. Author Kathleen Bostrom brings a delightfully light touch to the text as she provides an introduction to an experience that most children are exposed to long before they understand why. And children everywhere will relate to the idea of explaining their surroundings to their favorite companions as they go about their daily activities.

This is just one of the first titles in a new series of inspirational books for preschoolers.

Basic Christian and church concepts serve as the foundation of the series, with an additional focus on character traits and development.

This is a very cute board book that would be great for a preschooler.  The story is quick and easy to read and the illustrations are sweet and colorful.  I plan to give my copy to my church library so it can be enjoyed by many preschoolers (since my kids are beyond that age).  I hope they get much use out of it!
