Don't Forget to Remember by Ellie Holcomb

Don't Forget to Remember by Ellie Holcomb is such an adorable book!  It is oversized, perfect for reading to the little one in your life.  It's pages are thick, like a board book so it is sturdy and very well made. 

The story line is about how every aspect of creation speaks to us of how much God loves us and will never forget us.  The words are simple, yet beautiful.  I like the rhythm and cadence of the words and so will the children you read it to.

The illustrator, Kayla Harren, has created gorgeous artwork on each and every page. The book is chock full of fun, colorful scenes, ranging from a meadow to a jungle to the ocean.  There are both children and animals on each page. Children of every nationality and animals of every kind. There are many, many things to point out and talk about all throughout the book. 

The only minus I would give this book is that there are no children with any sort of different ability.  I would have loved to see a child with crutches or a wheelchair, a child with glasses or hearing aids, or a child with Down's Syndrome.  Other than that, Don't Forget to Remember is a completely charming book and I would highly recommend it to parents or grandparents.
