A is for Adam: The Gospel from Genesis by Ken and Mally Ham 


We have read lots of books that teach letters and phonics.  They teach that A is for apple, B is for bat, C is for cat, and so forth. A is for Adam by Ken and Mally Ham is a great spin off of this old idea.

A is for Adam is illustrated by Dan Lietha.  It was pub;ished in 1995 by Creation-Life Publishers, Inc.

Ken Ham is well known for his teachings on creationism. His book, A is for Adam, is a rhyming book that teaches children letters and rhyming while instilling into them a love for reading. While doing so, it also teaches them about God’s creation and how He created it.

The first page reads:

A is for Adam; God made him from dust. He wasn’t a monkey, he looked just like us. Although some scientists don’t think it was so, it was God who was there, and he ought to know.

The opposite page shows a man talking to a monkey. The man, Adam, says to the monkey, “I can think, compose music, build bridges, fly airplanes, and make computers!!!! What can you do?”
The book continues, B is for Bible, C is for creatures . . . F is for fruit . . . L is for Lord . . . P is for plan . . . and so forth.

A Genesis Commentary

The next part of the book is a Genesis Commentary for Parents and Children. This section takes each letter section of the rhyming book and adds a commentary with suggestions for student exercises. This section helps parents and children, or in some cases teachers and students, better understand the concepts behind the letter words. The commentary provides supporting scriptures with expert explanations.

 A Coloring Book

The third and last section of the book is a black and white version of the first rhyming book section. Each page can be reproduced so that children can color the pages. As a parent or teacher reads the rhyming book and provides a lesson with each letter, children can color each page. Then, the parent or teacher can staple the pages together so that each child can have his own copy of the A is for Adam book.

Little Girl's Bible Boardbooks


When my children were little, I loved reading Bible stories to them and they loved listening to the stories. I always reminded them to be careful to not tear the pages when reading by themselves.  Bible story board-books are great for toddlers. Toddlers can enjoy the books without much adult supervision because the books are made for little toddler hands.  Toddlers are just learning to properly handle and care for books.

The Little Girls Bible Board-Books can be wiped clean of drool, peanut butter and jelly, sticky lollipop messes, and any kind of spill; however, they can only withstand a minimal amount of teething. 🤣  

Our particular set of Little Girls Bible Board-Books include the following stories:

The Story of The Garden of Eden
The Story of Moses
The Story of Noah
The Story of Isaac

Some sets of Bible Board-Books may contain different Bible stories, but they will all contain Biblically sound stories from which your children will learn sound Biblical principles. This set of stories (the set we have) was designed so that little girls can read Bible stories from the point of view of the women in the stories. Have a boy in the family? The stories are great for him too! He will enjoy the stories as he reads along with his sister or sisters.

The illustrations are adorable and the language is simple enough for little Bible scholars to understand. The stories are brief, only about ten pages long.

The Little Girls Bible Story Board-Books were first published in 1999 by Ottenheimer Publishers, Inc.
