1, 2, 3, with Nephi and Me!

1, 2, 3, WITH NEPHI AND ME
by Heidi Doxey
illustrated by Emily Konopasek

Cuddle up with your kids and count your way through the Book of Mormon! This colorful board book is perfectly sized for little fingers and is a fun way to introduce numbers and scripture stories at the same time. With rhyming text and cute illustrations, it’s sure to become a family favorite that your kids will want to read over and over again!

My Review
I picked up this book not knowing what it was about--I thought it would be a cute counting book 1 Nephi, 2 spears, etc.

Was I ever surprised!

This book is WAY BETTER than just a simple counting book! As the description says it "introduces numbers AND scripture stories." There are even scripture references to take you to your own copy of the Book of Mormon.

Fun rhyming--Bold colors--FANTASTIC book!

Excerpt
1 Liahona led Nephi across the sea
2 thousand warriors fought courageously
3 Nephite Apostles were blessed for choosing to stay
4 holy temples built for Jesus to visit one day...
