Help your children develop a love for the scriptures from a young age with this adorable board book.

My Review: (LAWonder10) 
This is a very colorful and well illustrated book for pre-school to Kindergarten age.
It has simply stated messages, identifying various Latter-Day Saint prophets from the Book of Mormon.
This is a wonderful book for quiet time and will assist in keeping one's toddlers occupied without taking away from the Sabbath on Sundays.
The only real problem I had with it is the title. It centers on prophets beginning with Lehi but has little to do with him and what he sees..

I offer a Four Stars rating.

MY REVIEW:
This is a creative book for "little ones" to enjoy. It is colorful, simple and a has a good message.
The author's illustrations are done very well and are eye-catching..
The story rhymes part of the time. The ,message is good except the "flow " of the tale is "choppy". It lacks rhythm.
Still, I feel it will keep the child's interest and can be used in teaching a few topics.
I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.
*This book was gifted to me with no requirement of a positive review. This is my honest review.

Amanda has a love of travel, exploring other cultures, trees, art and eating dark chocolate.
