Weird & Wacky, Strange & Slimy Okaykids of any ageopen this book and jump out of your skin! Be ready for snakes that fly, spiders that hiss, birds that bark, even trees that re-bark! God designed each one of these strange creatures and gave them a place of importance on His earth. Talented author, Bonnie Bruno has thoroughly researched over 120 of these weird wonders of the world, and it is both fun and funny to read about them in her book, Weird & Wacky, Strange & Slimy. You can even slip over to a cool secret site and learn much more! But she didnt stop with simply writing about Gods strange, sometimes icky, creatures, she suggests you: Tell a Friend. Then, not leaving you without something to say that connects the creature to the Creator, she suggests that you: Read About It, then Pray About It, giving you lots of extra facts to share.Parents, this delightful and insightful book is one for your childs bookshelf. Librarians, teachers, anyone who loves children and appreciates the detail God put into His creationthis is a book for your bookshelves too. Read and enjoy!

Want to know why I am crazy about this book? It is exciting! It is perfectly outlined and easy to manage. Each page is packed full of information that is helpful to know as well as fun to read. I will not limit it to 8-12 year olds because adults will also learn with the kids. The three index sections are perfect for quickly finding information. While looking at a picture of something that resembled chocolate ice cream cones, I found the name of that odd thing and it grows in my front flower bed! Finally I can identify it. Bonnie Bruno, has written each weird, wacky, strange and slimy thing as if it was talking.For instance, the octopus told me things about himself that I might never know except for hearing him speak in this amazing book.Scripture and prayer end each story as Brunno relates the story to God's word and our prayers. You AND your children will be enriched as you read and re-read this fantastic book. Buy it today!

This devotion book is different. It not only engages the interest of tweens but also appeals to adults. It is filled with information and faithfully directs the reader to God. This is one devotional that we will keep and reread again.
