What a cute little book about how God created us all. 

My children giggled at the line, "Did he have to hold his nose when God created my toes?" .  They thought that was funny because we often tell them their feet stink when we're tickling their feet or playing "piggy went to market". 

The illustrations are cute and so very well done and goes so well with the rhyming story.  Your children are sure to enjoy the story as my children did.

Overall, this is a book that I intend to read more than once to my children as they really enjoyed it and asked immediately for me to read it again. I handed it off to my 9 year old and 8 year old to read to their younger siblings.

   In God Loves Me More Than That, children learn that God loves them deeper than a wishing well, wider than a semi-truck, louder than thunder, and softer than a kitten’s sneeze. Each question, presented with charming child-like faith will help young ones grasp the great love of God through comparisons and descriptions they can easily understand. In short, they’ll discover that His love is bigger, wider, higher, and deeper than anything they could imagine!
