"All About Bible Animals" is a very clever book! Yes, it’s filled with fun facts about the animals found in the Bible. But it introduces those animals chronologically, unpacking the story of the Bible as it goes along. So the reader learns about wonderful animals while, at the same time, discovering the wonders of God’s love.
Calling all animal lovers! This book is teeming with interesting facts about animals such as the platypus, striped and speckled goats, Syrian brown bears, chameleons, the raven, and more.
--This book is unique because it pairs the beauty of our natural world with instances in scripture where animals have a noticeable appearance.

--Not only are there animal facts, but there is history and language definitions sprinkled throughout. Because of the Bible verses and the reference to the event, Simona Piscioneri has made it easy to have big picture theology and gospel conversations with your children.
--You will find this book colorful, engaging, and the page layouts cohesive without being overly repetitive. Another plus is that it has a sturdy binding with a matte cover and glossy pages which add to the overall aesthetic of the book. Engaging books make for engaging conversation and inspiring curiosity and wonder. This is sure to be your little monkey's new favorite!
What’s so special about the animals in Scripture? In All about Bible Animals, Simona Piscionera shows and tells over 100 amazing facts about the animals of the Bible.
This children’s book is so much fun! My kids enjoyed seeing the colorful photos of animals, and I enjoyed telling them about how they play a part in God’s word. Meant for ages 7 years and up, your kids will make connections with Bible stories and seeing how God teaches us with his creation.
Entertainingly Educational and Theological
I most enjoyed being able to tell my children that God cares for the sparrows, but he cares so much more for them. Remembering how Jesus came on a donkey, celebrating him as the king, was the perfect way to get ready for Easter.
This book is entertainingly educational and theological. I was pleased to read the Bible through the eyes of my kids, and seeing the amazing ways that God uses his creation to teach us his truths!
I received a media copy of All About Bible Animals and this is my honest review.
Did you know that animals tell us about God? Bible Animals by Simona Piscioneri is a fascinating children's book full of facts about how God used animals in the Bible.
Bible Animals is a large full color picture book that is 48 pages long and about 9 by 10 inches in size. This book is aimed at children ages seven to eleven--upper elementary students. It is a gorgeous book with beautiful pictures, bright bold colors and lots of interesting information and facts about animals from the Bible. Each animal that is featured has the verses from the Bible where it is mentioned along with a lot of questions and interesting information for children to read. This book would be a great book if you are home schooling your child to use along with others for science class. It is also one that would be great to have in your Sunday School or church library.
The book starts with the snake from Genesis and goes on to lions (Daniel and the Lion's Den) through a lot of Bible animals to the New Testament rooster that crowed when Peter denied Jesus. At the back of the book there is a quiz and a glossary. It is a nicely done book with a lot of interesting information--even for adults who are learning along with children.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
I love both the concept and execution of this book!
My kids love books about animals and learning new things. Unlike books we can get from the library, this has a biblical component that is really cool.
This book covers animals that are found in the Bible-- like frogs, bear, deer, locusts, lions, camels, donkeys, etc-- and not only gives fun facts about the animals but incorporates Scripture passages and stories to help kids understand the significance of, for example, why Noah would send a dove out after the flood, or what fish swallowed Jonah?
It also shares the gospel message within the pages and that's always a plus to keep teaching kids truth as they're learning other things. God displays his glory in creation and this book helps us recognize that!
The format of the book is colorful, fun, and really good quality.There is a fun quiz at the end and a glossary. It's a hardcover book with nice thick pages that will hopefully stand up against my children's rough page-turning. It is also 47 pages long which is a really nice length so you definitely get your money's worth in this one!
As a wildlife enthusiast it brings me great joy to see God’s creatures celebrated and explored. In ‘All about Bible Animals’ Piscioneri combines knowledge and bible stories in a fun, captivating way, sure to engage readers of all ages. The book works through the Bible in a chronological fashion, dedicating one page each to a creature as they appear in scripture. For example, doves are explored early on, since they star in the account of Noah and the Ark. Piscioneri’s book ticks all the boxes when it comes to a child-friendly production. There are stimulating and interesting pictures, well-formatted pages, and highly informative factoids, many of which I myself was most intrigued by! For any lover of wildlife and God’s word, this book is an exciting and helpful companion.
I received a free copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
This fun book would be a great addition to any family library. This book would be fun for any kiddo that loves animals as well. Each page features an animal or type of animal from the Bible. There are fun animal facts on each page with reference to examples where they are mentioned in the Bible. There are over 100 amazing animal facts in this picture book! Even as an adult I learned some cool animal facts I hadn't heard before.
This book isn't extensive on theology and seemed a little vague at times, but is a great resource for starting conversations with your kids about the Bible and animals that are mentioned and their significance to each story.
This book is listed for ages 7+, but I could see younger kids enjoying this one too!
It would also make for a great homeschooling resource.
There is even a quiz at the end of the book to quiz your kiddos on what they learned.
Wow! I am so impressed with the book All About Bible Animals by Simona Piscioneri.
This book is beautifully illustrated, captivating, and engaging for children of all ages.
It is incredible to see so many wonderful biblical truths, and scripture references woven throughout the texts and images in this book.
My children can't put this book down! They are constantly referring to it, and reading me amazing facts they have learnt!
I love the Quiz Time section at the end: such a fun way to recap some key facts! As well as the glossary, which is helpful for some of those bigger words your children may not know or understand yet.
We absolutely love this book! It is an incredible resource to have in your home, and I highly recommend it!
I am so delighted to have this fantastic resource on our homeschool shelf! I love the way this book shares Scripture and Biblical events in relation to the animal kingdom God created while pointing children marvel at God and to know and understand Him better. Not only is the book full of short snippets of easy to understand facts about animals, but also moral truths such as “actions have consequences”, explaining about sin, forgiveness and even the plan of salvation. Any book that highlights the truth of the Gospel is a win for our family!
For our daughter (aged 4.5 years), this book was absolutely riveting. She poured over the beautiful, photographs for hours, asking me to read her the text in the little bubbles. She squealed at the big snakes and exclaimed over the soft deer. The text was very easy for her to understand and the information was easy absorb in those short snippets. She loved identifying several unique animals like whale sharks, axolotls and chameleons.
I liked that the book was informative, educational and full of Scripture. The exciting, interactive way this book is formatted and presented made it fun to read together and would be appropriate for multiple age ranges. The words encouraged both myself and my daughter to crave God’s Word and want to learn more about His creation in which we live.
This would be an excellent resource for any homeschool family or church/school library plus a great addition to any child’s bookshelf! Though geared towards elementary school age children, my preschooler loved it as well and I can see it appealing even to some middle school aged children.
* I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of these books from The Good Book Company and all thoughts below are my own.
I planned to slowly move through this book in our morning homeschool time, but my kids loved it so much we read the whole thing in a couple days. They did not want to put it down!
From an educational perspective, I love that the book touches on so many subjects: Bible, science, history, and vocabulary to name a few.
I really enjoyed the deeper dive into sections of scripture. The author did a great job of in unpacking portions of the text. While also combining interesting facts about each animal.
The pictures are beautiful and draw the reader in.
Overall, a very enjoyable read!
This book would make the perfect gift for any toddler or young child. It's educational, well thought out, and so fun! I love all of the animals and the tie to Scripture. My only critique is that there is a LOT of information on each page and the design could've been cleaner. Thankful for this book!
