Yesterday we received some new books to review – first up: The I Believe Bunny by Tish Rabe!

This is a lovely book. The back cover says, “Introducing the I Believe Bunny – a delightful new series that teaches children how to put their faith into action.” Indeed, this book does just that, making it somewhat unique among other Christian children’s books I have seen.

Throughout this sweetly illustrated hardcover book, pleasantly rhyming text tells the story of the I Believe Bunny. On a rainy spring day, he hears a little voice calling out to him and discovers a small mouse struggling and unable to swim in the river. Bunny is all alone with no one to help him, and he doesn’t know what to do – he prays that God would help him save the mouse. Soon he hears his friends running to help him; God had sent them and answered Bunny’s prayer, and together they pull the mouse to safety.

So often we teach children about prayer with constant caveats about when God doesn’t seem to answer our prayers – while that is appropriate at times, I found this book to be a refreshing reminder that God does answer prayer and hears us when we call out to Him.

I hope to see more books from this series – what a great concept to teach kids that their faith is applicable for their every day life!
