How much love does God have for me? More than the letters between A and Z. More than the bumbles in a bumble bee. God loves me more than that!

I recently received a copy of
God Loves Me More Than That ![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=theacc01-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1400073162)
by Dandi Daley Mackall, illustrated by David Hohn. This sweet and simple book helps children understand how much God loves them by asking and answering just how big--how high, how deep, how wide--God's love is. I love the concept of this book--the questions are ones I can imagine my own children asking, and the answers are wonderfully concrete: God's love is "higher than the moon in a starless sky," and "louder than the cheering of a football crowd," and "deeper than a treasure chest beneath the sea." These are comparisons my kids can relate to. The repetition of the question/answer format really emphasizes the message that God's love is much more than we can ever imagine, and the simple drawings complement the text beautifully. This book would make a delightful addition to a young child's bedtime routine. The one thing I didn't like about the book was the rhymes--I love rhyming books, but with this one I just couldn't get into a good read-aloud rhythm--the rhymes seemed forced to me.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. This review contains my honest opinions.
