The title alone captured my attention. Do Animals Believe in God? Though this was a fiction book, it does teach children that animals do believe in God. I'm not a scientist, but I don't believe that animals are aware of a higher being.

Really wonderful book showing kids that even the animals believe in God. Helps a child understand faith.

It was so boring. We aren't religious but I wanted to see if I could find a book that was interest my daughter. I want her to make her own mind up on religion. The writing seemed very simple and over done. It felt rushed and the whole concept of the book needs an overhaul.
Layout was awful and I don't feel it reached it's potential.

My Preschool Sunday School class loved this story. As Daniel goes on a journey to find out the answer to his very important question, he quickly finds out some very important reasons why animals believe in God. With the bright colorful pictures and the wonderful reasons why God loves each animal kept them enthralled till the ending. The story is brought full circle when Daniel returns home and asks his own parents if they believe in God and their perfect answer.

This is such a sweet little book to teach kids about faith and how every creature has a wonderful Father in Heaven that created them and cares so much for each and every animal and creature. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone seeking a faith- filled book for their little ones!

It was a cute book but it seemed lacking on true religious involvement. The writing seemed very simple but was long winded. I feel like the children who might enjoy this book would loose interest within a couple of pages.

Do Animals believe in God? By Carl Solomon SR. Is a wonderful tool that can be used with the Bible to help children learn and grow in their knowledge and faith of God. This would be great used in Sunday school or for home study.

Just okay. Would have been more enjoyable with a better layout. Very repetitive, the words of the story were bland and do not spark a child's curiosity and imagination.

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book, but I am not one who enjoys repetitive lines, so I didn't really enjoy the storyline. The main character asks all the animals if they believe in God and the animals reply with their different answers.

Good kids picture book where Daniel asks all the animals, and they respond with characteristics or blessings specific to them as to why they believe in God. He ends with asking his parents. I like that the book easily explains specific ways God made the creatures different. There were a few pages and some wording I didn't like and didn't think was the best way to put something.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A curious boys sets out to find out if animals believe in God. Each animal explains the gifts they have been given and how God has blessed them. It highlights how God protects the animals from harm and is with them always even when they’re sad. The illustrations are very captivating for kids with all of the animal variety. It’s a sweet book for children to focus on all the beauty around them. I know my children would of loved this book when they were younger. I think it’s perfect for younger children.

This book is clearly designed for very young children and as such is stripped right back to very engaging animal pictures and very brief comments from each animal on why they believe in God. In my opinion it's almost too stripped back though and I think the explanation of the snake of why it believes in God, "...because of my sins against God and mankind, God made me crawl on my belly." really needs more explanation for such a young audience. In fact I'd leave the snake out altogether. It's a useful book and I would use it but it's just a bit too brief for me.

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for ARC.

This book is great to use with younger readers who may be exploring their faith. I will use this within the school that I teach as we are in the process on becoming a church school, I will most likely leave this for my children to reed in the prayerful space within our classroom.

This is a very cute book, it’s very quick and moved on quickly from animal to animal. I get that it’s for really young children but it would have been nice for a little more description of why Daniel wanted to know these answers and maybe for the animals to have answered a bit more detailed.

It went from one animal to another instantly, this could have been a fun and cute adventure with Daniel travelling to these animals so he could ask them his question. It’s a very adorable concept though which is why I wanted to read it, the little boy was curious if his animal friends believed in God as he did and found each one has a reason to be.

It’s a good book if you have a child or know of a child asking this very same question as the animals explained to Daniel why and has cute pictures to go along with it.

"My thoughts"

a very sweet cute story I loved the illustration they were so bright and beautiful wonderful use of colors. I another thing I would like to point out is how there is the use of multiple types of sentence structures to help children learn and become better readers. great for very young and say 1-2 graders both age groups can have fun with this book.

Things I enjoyed

as stated above I really really enjoyed the pictures it really brought it to life, especially for young children!

Daniel is a very curious boy therefore very relatable to young children.



Things I didn't like

the first page explaining that daniel our main character woke up and began the quest could have used a picture.

Do Animals Believe In God? by Carl Solomon Sr. Is a wonderful book that poses a question a lot of us ask ourselves and if animal lovers such as myself like to think they do too.

I read this book with my young niece and nephew in mind, and I think they would love the illustrations along with the message that animals love God and that God loves them in return.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from the publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Daniel decides to ask various animals if they believe in God. When he had gathered a number of responses, he returns home and asks his parents the same question.

I thought the whole concept behind this book was brilliant. It explores not only a child's natural curiosity, but his curiosity about God and his spiritual growth. The answers he receives from the animals help to secure his faith. I've always told my children that robins sing praises to God morning and night, but this book makes all readers take notice that humans are not the only ones who can glorify God and appreciate the gifts they've been given.

I read this book with an open mind as I am not really religious but I did enjoy it and I thought it was a great way to raise with children the possibility of God and the origins of creatures on Earth and the concept of creation. It had some nice images too and was easy to understand and follow.

This was a sweet story that I would share with my own daughter. The illustrations were vibrant and lovely. Each page depicted something magical and unique about God's creations and how they interact with Him. Each animal not only explains why they are praising God, but specific things that help them live a wonderful life on earth, This book will surely be a great gift for any child in your life.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Such a light and inspiring book! In my opinion, it would be very easy to understand for a child, and it portrays a great message. My favorite animal was the dog, because we all know God made them man's best friend!
