Product Description
All Things Bright and Beautiful is one of the most beloved hymns ever written. Cecil Frances Alexander's timeless ode to nature calls everyone to celebrate the wonders of life, great and small, seen and unseen.Now Bruce Whatley offers a fresh interpretation of this classic for the whole family to enjoy. Through his lush paintings, we join a little girl's country ramble and share her appreciation of the beauty around her: A flower, the wind, a mountain view, all gives her reasons to pause and praise--and inspire us to do the same.

Perfectly lovely -- and has an ACD besides! November 4, 2008
Beautiful images in this book -- and I am particularly fond of the plain-faced blue Australian Cattle Dog that accompanies the girl on her day. My only regret is he didn't show up more... (you can see why I bought this book.) Bought it as a gift for my niece, and I'm positive this one's going to be a long time keeper. Really lovely book. (Just needs more Cattle Dog!)
Beautifully illustrated version of this classic! July 31, 2008
This is a beautifully illustrated version of the 19th century hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful." The illustrations follow a country girl as she explores the world around her. The illustrations propel the text's message to the next level, powerfully demonstrating the beauty of God's creation. It's worth pausing at every page-spread to admire the pictures for a few extra seconds, and it doesn't detract from the reading of the story at all.
Each 2-page spread has 2 lines from the hymn, and a 2-page illustration spread surrounding the words. The text is a nice large size. In the back two pages, the hymn is printed if you'd want to play it or sing it with your children.
I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with young children that they want to teach of God from their earlist days.
A Great Childrens' Book August 19, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an easy review - the book is simply great! If parents are willing to sit down with their children and read, especially starting before they are two years old, this book will help to spark the imagination of practically any child. The song couldn't make a better subject for a book. The story should help form the foundation for a strong moral and religious background. The illustrations are beautifully done and our twenty-two month old picks out things that we hadn't even noticed. I recommend the book to all parents and encourage them to read it nightly, taking the time to discuss what they see in the pictures. I sincerely hope the author has more projects in the works!
All things bright and beautiful... December 17, 2001
All creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all... This is a great hymn, one of my favorites (especially the arrangement by John Rutter). Reading (singing!) this book to my children has given them an appreciation for the beauty in God's world. The illustrations are the kind that a child is drawn into - the kind they can gaze at and imagine themselves in the scene.
A carefree country girl goes on a ramble as the hymn unfolds. My children (me too!) want to kick off their shoes and share in the child's absorption of the beauty around her.
Great way to children-ize a hymn.
