Description
Do Animals Believe In God? is a story of what some of the creatures of the earth might say if they could speak if asked, “Do you believe in God?” This book is filled with beautiful illustrations of Daniel’s journey.
Daniel decides to go on a journey to ask the creatures he meets whether they believe in God. Each of the creatures has their own special story to tell Daniel about why they believe in God. As Daniel ventures across different terrains—from his backyard, to a farm, through a forest, into a jungle, across a garden, along a river, and along the shore of the ocean—he meets creatures big and small that share their story with Daniel. It surprises Daniel to learn that each creature has its own unique story to tell about God, which reflects on their own way they experienced God, and they share their story in a way that is easily understood by Daniel. Some of the answers to Daniel’s question will surprise you or humor you.
As the story comes to a close, Daniel finds himself returning home after a day filled with exploration, adventure, and answers. His final question about God is to his mom and dad, who confirms what Daniel had learned on his journey: God is the Creator of all living creatures on the earth, under the earth, in the oceans and seas, and in the air.
This easy-to-read and colorful book allows a child’s imagination to wander and think what a creature would say if they could understand and respond to a question asked by a little boy named Daniel. Its message is timeless and eternal. Each page brings a different message than the last page read, so your child will, in anticipation, want to see what is next.

"My thoughts"
a very sweet cute story I loved the illustration they were so bright and beautiful wonderful use of colors. I another thing I would like to point out is how there is the use of multiple types of sentence structures to help children learn and become better readers. great for very young and say 1-2 graders both age groups can have fun with this book.
Things I enjoyed
as stated above I really really enjoyed the pictures it really brought it to life, especially for young children!
Daniel is a very curious boy therefore very relatable to young children.
Things I didn't like
the first page explaining that daniel our main character woke up and began the quest could have used a picture.

In closing

Do Animals Believe In God? by Carl Solomon Sr. Is a wonderful book that poses a question a lot of us ask ourselves and if animal lovers such as myself like to think they do too.
I read this book with my young niece and nephew in mind, and I think they would love the illustrations along with the message that animals love God and that God loves them in return.
I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from the publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Daniel decides to ask various animals if they believe in God. When he had gathered a number of responses, he returns home and asks his parents the same question.
I thought the whole concept behind this book was brilliant. It explores not only a child's natural curiosity, but his curiosity about God and his spiritual growth. The answers he receives from the animals help to secure his faith. I've always told my children that robins sing praises to God morning and night, but this book makes all readers take notice that humans are not the only ones who can glorify God and appreciate the gifts they've been given.

This was a sweet story that I would share with my own daughter. The illustrations were vibrant and lovely. Each page depicted something magical and unique about God's creations and how they interact with Him. Each animal not only explains why they are praising God, but specific things that help them live a wonderful life on earth, This book will surely be a great gift for any child in your life.
Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Such a light and inspiring book! In my opinion, it would be very easy to understand for a child, and it portrays a great message. My favorite animal was the dog, because we all know God made them man's best friend!

This question posed by Daniel to all of the animals he encounters is one animal lovers and Christians pose as well, I do believe that animals love God and that God loves them in return. The illustrations are lifelike and the animals include butterflies, tortoises, kangaroos and even snakes,
Stacey J, Educator
This book is great to use with younger readers who may be exploring their faith. I will use this within the school that I teach as we are in the process on becoming a church school, I will most likely leave this for my children to reed in the prayerful space within our classroom.

A curious boys sets out to find out if animals believe in God. Each animal explains the gifts they have been given and how God has blessed them. It highlights how God protects the animals from harm and is with them always even when they’re sad. The illustrations are very captivating for kids with all of the animal variety. It’s a sweet book for children to focus on all the beauty around them. I know my children would of loved this book when they were younger. I think it’s perfect for younger children.

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book, but I am not one who enjoys repetitive lines, so I didn't really enjoy the storyline. The main character asks all the animals if they believe in God and the animals reply with their different answers.

Do Animals believe in God? By Carl Solomon SR. Is a wonderful tool that can be used with the Bible to help children learn and grow in their knowledge and faith of God. This would be great used in Sunday school or for home study.
Hannah L, Reviewer
This is such a sweet little book to teach kids about faith and how every creature has a wonderful Father in Heaven that created them and cares so much for each and every animal and creature. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone seeking a faith- filled book for their little ones!

My Preschool Sunday School class loved this story. As Daniel goes on a journey to find out the answer to his very important question, he quickly finds out some very important reasons why animals believe in God. With the bright colorful pictures and the wonderful reasons why God loves each animal kept them enthralled till the ending. The story is brought full circle when Daniel returns home and asks his own parents if they believe in God and their perfect answer.
