Ohh some great children's books coming across the desk of the Unicorn Tree Books Boss for review from @authentic_media :) my very favourite has to be the incredibly fun and tactile 'The Funniest Animals God Ever Made'... A really solid board book with the best long lasting and enjoyable rubber textures throughout... Armadillos, platypus, chameleon and more make this a great playful book suitable for tiny people (and their bigger sidekicks!) to enjoy. Then ' My ABC of God Loves Me' is a fantastic alphabet book, that not only takes you through the alphabet but introduces key concepts of the Christian Faith whilst doing it, in a gentle rhythmic way... A great book that would be perfect for a christening or dedication gift, as well as just for everyday use too. Finally the 'My First Memory Verse Bible' is my favourite sort of board book bevause it has a handle and is perfect for little ones to carry around with them. With each section having a memory verse that ties in to the theme of the very short bible story (that includes where to find it in the bible) this is a great little go to church board book for any little person. As always these and many other fantastic books for Children and Adults can be found at your local Independent Bookshop, like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and I'd really encourage you to buy from an independent community based bookshop whenever you can. http://bit.ly/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #generalbooks #childrensbooks #christianbooks #review #childrensactivities #bookreviews #bookshop #booksaremybag #bookstagram #childrensbooks #church #Christian #boardbooks

These perfectly formed NRSV gift bibles from @CambridgeUP came across my desk today at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and asked to be reviewed. They are small but with a beautiful clear and bold print that makes them easy to read sepite the small print size. The premium leather looking one is lush and truly looks the part of a refined black leather bible and really would be an incredible and long serving serious gift for perhaps Ordinations, Confirmations or for something with a feeling of gravitas attached to it. Next up are the silver and grey editions, both with gil edges, and both very suitable for any gift giving occasion from Christenings to marriages... I particularly like the gentle sheen (almost sparkle) to the grey edition which just lifts it that little bit, but in no way moves it away from being emminently suitable as a gentleman's gift. Finally the green edition is the cheaper priced edition and to be fair more an everyday compact carrying bible than a purposeful gift edition, but despite this the print and quality hold through making it an excellent companion for everyday life, or maybe as a Sunday school or school gift edition perhaps. All in all a set of beautifully formed, and well thought out, compact and gift edition NRSV bibles from Cambridge University Press indeed. As always these, and many more good books and bibles, can be found in your local independent Bookshops like us here at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market, and we really would encourage you to go through a small independent bookshop for your purchases as they truly rely on you to remain in business and serving the local community where they are. https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #books #book #indiebookshop #christianbooks #christianbookshop #bibles #leatherbible #faith #Christian #cambridgeuniversitypress #bible #gift #awards #review #buylocal #independent #bookshop
