We know that music is very subjective and can even be divisive. These songs, however, are scripture…word-for-word. So, if you listen consistently, your family will be memorizing Bible verses before you know it.
Our favorite Bible storybook for preschoolers is The Beginner’s Bible, but if you find yourself looking for something a bit simpler for your toddler, the Read and Share Toddler Bible is our recommendation.

BABY BELIEVER SERIES
Danielle Hitchen
Jessica Blanchard
Danielle Hitchen saturates her Baby Believer board book series in complex theology, direct quotes from the Bible, and deep Christian concepts. You might be wondering why you would want to buy something that sounds so complicated for your babies. Well, I would encourage you to do just that because these books are accessible for toddlers and can grow with them into the elementary years when they are more able to fully understand the scope of what each book is teaching. In the meantime, children are exposed to rich theology and God’s very Word, all organized in color primers or opposites primers or alphabet primers, etc. The lovely illustrations and artistic design of each page will capture your child’s attention while they learn their colors or numbers or shapes. This series is covering a lot of bases, and is highly recommended for every home! Look for these titles and more: First Bible Basics (A Counting Primer), Let There Be Light (An Opposites Primer), We Believe (An Alphabet Primer), Holy Week (An Emotions Primer), Psalm 23 (A Colors Primer), From Eden to Bethlehem (An Animals Primer), Jesus Heals (An Anatomy Primer), Our God (A Shapes Primer), Psalms of Praise (A Movement Primer), The Kingdom of Heaven (A Gardening Primer), God Speaks (A Sounds Primer), and Hallelujah (A Biblical Hebrew Primer.)
BIG THEOLOGY FOR LITTLE HEARTS SERIES
Devon Provencher
Jessica Provencher
The Big Theology for Little Hearts series of board books is designed to establish a foundation of good theology in the lives of your toddlers and preschoolers. These books are perfect for starting conversations at the earliest possible age because they each tackle a big idea from the Bible. Every two-page spread in the books, highlights one important word related to the big idea and gives simple yet strong definitions for that word. The illustrations complement everything beautifully. Titles in the series include: The Gospel, God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, The Church, Creation, Heaven, Prayer, and The Bible.
TINY THEOLOGIANS SERIES
Amy Gannett
Nate Farro
Does God Sleep? is a cute, little book about a big, important idea. God is all-powerful! Gannett does a brilliant job putting together an easy-to-read rhyme that captures God’s omnipotence in a way that tiny theologians can understand. There are other books in the Tiny Theologians series that explore further big ideas about who God is: Does God Go On Vacation?: A Book About God’s Presence, and Did God Learn His ABC’s?: A Book About God’s Knowledge.
FOUND, NEAR, KNOWN, HAPPY, and STRONG
Sally Lloyd-Jones
Jago
Sally Lloyd-Jones, the author of The Jesus Storybook Bible, does a beautiful job of adapting some favorite biblical Psalms in this series of padded board books for little ones. In the book Found, she depicts Psalm 23 in words that preschoolers can grasp, describing how Jesus is like a shepherd and we are His little lambs. In the book Near, she expresses ideas from the first half of Psalm 139, explaining that God is with us wherever we go. In the book Known, she retells the second half of Psalm 139, articulating how God made us and knows us and loves us. In Happy, the first verses of Psalm 92 are retold, and most recently Strong was released, in which children explore concepts from Psalm 1. And you won’t want to miss the illustrations by Jago which are utterly captivating.
INDESCRIBABLE FOR LITTLE ONES
Louie Giglio
Nicola Anderson
Here’s a fun way to introduce your littlest ones to the wonder of God’s world. This interactive board book focuses on four aspects of creation: space, earth, animals, and people. Discover fun facts, and enjoy the bright, happy illustrations, while pointing your child to the Creator who made it all!
THE MOON SPEAKS
Jason G. Duesing
Chiara Fedele
Based on Psalm 19:1 and Romans 1:20, this lovely board book helps children understand how creation reflects the Creator! The illustrations are full of gorgeous landscapes and cute animals, and we think this is a perfect bedtime read aloud.
JESUS SAVES: THE GOSPEL FOR TODDLERS
Sarah Reju
Phil Schorr
This book is amazing! The gospel message is presented so clearly and simply that you won’t feel like you are talking over your toddler’s head. It begins with the truth that God made you, loves you, and sees you. Then, it walks through God’s sovereignty, our sin, salvation through Jesus’ death and resurrection, repentance, and a life of following Jesus. Reju accomplishes all of this in a compact book with few words. One of the reasons it works so well is that she uses a wonderful, repetitive, rhythmic cadence throughout (except for one of the pages, which does not follow that pattern and feels a bit clunky.) This book is so well done, however, that one clunky page should not stop you from buying it! In fact, CVCKids highly recommends picking up your own copy today.
