Book Review: Mommy, who made Earth? by Carroll Harrison Kehne Jr.
This is such an adorable book. This book retells the story of creation in Genesis through pictures. This book kept my 4 year old entertained with the illustrations & colors. It also made this story easy to understand for him. As for me, it gave me a whole new view of the creation.
