Princess Stories: Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses: Book Review

I received a complimentary copy of Princess Stories this morning from Tyndale Publishers. I had hoped to receive this in time to review it for those looking for quality books as gifts for a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or other young girl on your gift list. However, it is Christmas Eve and much too late in the day for a Christmas gift in 2011.

You may want to consider, however, if your child receives a gift of money taking them to a book store and letting them purchase their own copy of Princess Stories with their gift. Now, let's talk about Princess Stories.

"Princess Stories" would be appropriate for girls ages 4 to 8. The book contains stories about 29 women in the Bible. It wraps up with the 30th story about the reader, who is God's princess too. Each story has a rhyme about the featured Bible princess followed by a narrative about the woman. There is a Bible verse from a passage of Scripture different from the actual Bible story that relates to that Princess' character trait. There is a teaching moment opportunity presented via the Princess Ponderings which are questions to guide discussion at the end of each story.

This little book is a delightful way to begin introducing young girls to women in the Bible with more detail than your typical "story book." Girls are inundated with Princesses in fairy tale literature and other venues of entertainment and play, it is time we introduce them to God's princesses and let them learn the real meaning of being a princess.

This hardcover book is printed in lovely feminine colors and designs on durable paper. The illustrations are nice and appropriate for the storyline.

Author: Carolyn Larsen Illustrator: Sergey Eliseev

I received a complimentary copy of Princess Stories from Tyndale Publishers and was not required to give a positive review. All comments and ideas expressed are my own.

Some of the people who have impacted me have been as ships that pass in the night. A brief encounter that none-the-less leaves a wake that lifts and floats you and somehow impacts you. Friends are not always forever. They are sometimes like ships in the night – passing briefly and casting a radiance on our being.--Vera

As each new chapter unfolds, we look at past days with wishful sighs longing for the sweetness of them. But each new dawn brings exciting adventures for the growing child to embrace as an adult and for the parent to embrace as one who has launched a wonderful ship on the sea of life.
When play is the work of children and imagination the fuel of discovery, the longings of a child's heart become fantastically real to them enabling them to engage in a world of wonder.
