Marvel at the Moon by Levi Lusko with Tama Fortner illustrated by Catherine Pearson and Tim Bradford

 

Review: Marvel at the Moon by Levi Lusko with Tama Fortner illustrated by Catherine Pearson and Tim Bradford is a 90 day devotional book. Each day which is a two page spread contains a topic related to space, a verse, an interesting fact about space and a prayer. The topics included are space facts, famous women and men in space, and what you need to know if you lived in outer space. Fabulous topics for students ages 6-11. Students 9-11 would be able to read on their own.

My eleven year old really enjoyed this story. I loved the format and the beautiful two page spreads. The book is very inviting, and the illustrations are incredible. We are always looking for ways to expand our horizons, and a space devotional is a great way to do that.

This would be a great way to supplement your science curriculum, use a devotional, or wonderful starting point for discussion with your student.   I highly recommend Marvel at the Moon.

Book Blurb:

Loneliness among kids is on the rise. In Marvel at the Moon: 90 Devotions: You're Never Alone in God's Majestic Universe, author and pastor Levi Lusko uses illuminating stories, biblical teaching, and eye-opening surprises about outer space to show kids that they're never alone, because God is always with them.

The moon is a constant and mysterious presence in our sky! Kids marvel at it, just as adults do, wondering about our big universe. And they'll love learning about the moon and other out-of-this-world discoveries about God's creative cosmos. With insightful, educational, and comforting devotions, kids will discover that God is powerful, He is good, and He will never leave us.

Including fun facts and simple action steps, this 90-day devotional journey will help kids tohandle real-life issues such as loneliness, peer pressure, negative emotions, and more;
tackle truths about God's creation, learn how our universe fits together in perfect harmony, and discover God's love for His children;
learn from courageous people, including Father Abraham, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Katherine Johnson, and many others;
dig into interesting space and astronomy facts, plus scientific findings reinforced by the Bible; and
foster a new sense of wonder at God's magnificent creation as they engage with His promises.

Despite the conundrums kids may face on earth, they'll learn that God defies gravity and is with them wherever they go!

Levi also travels the world speaking about Jesus. Through television, online streaming, and Levi and his wife Jennie’s bestselling books, their ministry reaches around the world. They enjoy family days, getting outside, good coffee and sharing new experiences. The Lusko family includes one son: Lennox, and four daughters: Alivia, Daisy, Clover, and Lenya, who is in Heaven.

The Indescribable Activity Book For Kids by Louie Giglio

The Indescribable Activity Book for Kids by Louie Giglio with Tama Fortner is a delightful activity book for kids ages 6-10. This full color book contains word searches, crosswords, games, puzzles, crafts, dot to dot, drawing, and experiments. The Indescribable Kids share science facts and lead you through the book.

This can be used along with the author’s devotionals or as a stand alone. As a certified teacher and homeschool mom I believe you could use the book as a science supplement for fourth grade and up and your curriculum for grades 1-3. It also would work well for activities for kids to do while waiting in appointments, church, during free time, travel, or anytime you need a quiet activity. Kids who like science will probably enjoy this book the most, but the colorful pages and variety of activities will appeal to all kids.

I highly recommend The Indescribably Activity Book by Louie Giglio.

Good Night Dude Perfect by Dude Perfect with Kristin Hilbert.

Good Night, Dude Perfect by Dude Perfect with Kristen Hilbert illustrated by Alan Brown is a good night book in the theme of Goodnight Moon.  The book is a history of the Dude Perfect group, shares some of their tricks, their mascot, inside jokes, and favorite things.  It is rather hilarious.  The pictures are bright and engaging.  The story is targeted towards their 4-8 year old fans. Though, I noticed all of my kids looking through it and laughing.  

What always strikes me as I watch the Dude Perfect videos is that these guys take what they do seriously, but not themselves.  They try to have fun, do goofy things, connect with their audience, and believe in making crazy ideas come true.  The book does a good job carrying through with those themes.  If you are a Dude Perfect fan than you will really enjoy Good Night, Dude Perfect.
