Gorgeous. Almost makes me wish I believed in a god. I love that it can be just a fun read as we watch the young girl pretend to be one of the animals representative of each verse, or it can be profound and spiritual as one reads aloud the poetry over and over again. Vibrant and joyful. For all ages.

I think maybe my favorite verse is:

Glory be to God for fuzzy spots
of worms and wrigglers,
stripes and polka dots,
the beetle's dance, the spider's poise,
the lizard's leap,
all crickets' joyous noise,
curling bugs and slugs and snails
that whisper holy praise in silver trails. ( )
