Five Minute Devotions for Children

by Amy Wummer and Pamela Kennedy

This delightful devotional is perfect for bedtime, dinnertime, or anytime. Each short devotion includes a story about an animal illustrating its dominant trait as created by God. That trait is then related to a child. Questions at the end are fun for the young child to answer, such as picking out something in the picture, asking what the animal is doing, and asking what God wants us to do. Each devotional concludes with a short bible verse.

Customer Reviews

All my children love this book.

We homeschool and I've added it to our morning basket. They make sure it doesn't get skipped. Even my two year old listens and enjoys the pictures. Every enjoyable and loaded with fun facts about animals.

Best Devotional For Kids I've Tried!

My twin 5 year olds and my almost 3 year old and I are almost done reading through this devotional for the first time. Not only does it capture their attention through the incredibly interesting animal facts and pictures, it has inspired many great discussions and has left me (the mom) feeling inspired and "filled up" as well. I highly recommend it to any parent with kids 2-12 or even older.

Wonderful devotional for kids

My son received this as a gift for his 4th birthday, and he loves it. He is very interested in animals, and this devotional brings together that natural interest and the realization that a Creator made each animal unique and special for a purpose. It helps him remember how and why certain characteristics are harmful (like the Angry Hippos!) in us just as in the animals. I can't recommend this enough. We have gone through all of the devotionals in just a little over a month. At one point, he wanted to do more than one a day! He loves to say the verse with me at the end. Great way to start the day!

Holds My Son's Interest

I find that a lot of devotional books for children do not hold my 5-year-old son's attention for very long. This book is an exception to that rule. He loves the stories about animals, pays close attention to the details, and understands how the themes relate to the Bible verses. I would highly recommend this and hope to see many more editions written in this style in the future.

Wonderful -- Must buy!!!

My 5 year old and I both really enjoy this book!!! Great way of connecting the animal world and Gods plan together-- easy to understand and I love the questions at the end of each that tests a childs reading comprehension as well as gets meaningful conversation going between us. A must buy!!

Our favorite nightly read!

We all love this devotional book- especially my four year old. It is perfect! It has met him exactly at his 4 yr.old level and asks him ideal questions to help him think about God's plan for his life. We can't wait each day to read about the next animal. Tomorrow night is Grizzlies... I am thrilled there is another book in this series now! If not I wouldn't know what to do when we were done. I highly recommend this devo. book to anyone with young kiddos around!
