Four New Titles From ZonderKidz for Your Littles
One of the most important things to me is reading. I love diving into a new book and finding new friends in the pages of that book. When my husband and I started our family we wanted to make sure we shared books with our kids. We wanted them to find joy in reading, so we’ve always made sure they had a full range of books.
One of the reasons I love ZonderKidz is because we get to include our faith in the books that we share. All of our kids first Bible was from Zondervan. We are always purchasing their titles for our kids, family members, and friends. We love gifting books for birthdays, special occasions, and holidays to help spread the joy of reading. This month ZonderKidz sent us four titles to review. Each one special in its own way.
