Wowsers – Wow! The Good News in Four Words – Dandi Daley Mackall
A children’s book that uses rhyme to explain the good news of the gospel around four focus words of exclamation.
The author tells an abbreviated story of the bible by highlighting: Creation – Wow! Fall – Uh-oh! Jesus – Yes! Heaven – Ahh! The book ends with a suggested response to keep sharing the Wow message. There are also some linked bible references for parents to dig into deeper which is a helpful resource.
This is a beautifully expressive and colourfully illustrated book that will engage the attention of small children. Whilst some of the vocabulary may be stretching for early listeners and the poetic licence sometimes cringeworthy for the adult reader; the clarity of God’s rescue plan through Jesus shines through.
A great book for Christian parents to read aloud with under five-year-olds. A useful book to have available at a Church Toddler Group and a lovely gift for small children.
