Books in A First Look AtÂ...Series series

Children learn that having respect means treating everyone fairly. But there are some types of respect that each person must earn for themselves--by keeping promises, by being honest in what they say and do, and being polite and respectful to others. Most important of all, boys and girls learn that people who are different deserve just as much respect as close friends. This new title in Barron's growing series of A First Look at . . . books is written especially for preschool and early-grades children. Books in this series feature sensitively written stories that encourage boys and girls to explore their feelings, face new challenges in their lives, and talk to trusted elders about how to deal with things that bother them. The books feature child-friendly color illustrations on every page. An advice to parents section appears at the end of each book.

This child-centered approach to Christianity is suitable for use in schools, churches, and at home. Key ideas are explained, and an everyday theme is taken that children should recognize and understand through the simple words and pictures. This book is a discovery of the work and character of God, through his world and his relationship with people.

Each of the four topics in this book—God, Jesus, The Bible, and The Church, is presented in 13 double pages spreads, exploring key concepts of the Christian faith in a way that relates to the child’s everyday world. The First Look series has been consistently popular in both hardback and paperback format. This single volume represents exceptional value for anyone involved in teaching children about the Christian faith.
