Clive and Ian, like many brothers, enjoy camping out under the stars. On a clear summer night, the stars above are beautiful, leading Clive and Ian into a discussion about who created the night and the day and how he did it.
Clive and Ian are an amazing couple of brothers who enjoy talking about God and all that he has done for us and our lives. In this book, Clive and Ian discuss how God made the Earth. Then he made the sun to shine during the day and the moon and stars to bring light to the darkness of night. The illustrations in this book are beautifully done. I really liked how the creation of light was depicted. The writing is clear and easily read without an overtly intricate vocabulary that would be difficult for young readers. They begin by discussing how God created the earth and that he really wanted to make day and night. I would recommend this book to Christian families and young readers everywhere. I would give this book five out of five stars. I received my copy of this book from the publishers at Jellytelly Press for the sole purpose of providing an honest review and the image featured above is my own.

When Clive and Ian spend a summer day at the zoo, Ian can't wait to see the tiger's polka dots, but tigers don't have polka dots. They have stripes because that's how God made them. Join Clive and Ian on their trip to the zoo and discuss with them all the many different animals God made.
Clive and Ian are out learning about the world that God created for us. Today they are learning about animals. Not just the animals at the zoo; they talk about everything from the stripes of the tigers to the bouncy bunnies. The writing in this book takes on the form of a continuous dialogue between these two brothers. The vocabulary remains reasonable for the age group of the audience. The illustrations are bright and each and every animal is easily recognizable, even the tiger with the polka dots. Clive and Ian appear to be having a fun visit. The artist’s use of bright, cheery colors conveys some of Clive and Ian’s enjoyment. I enjoyed how the author compared unusual animals. For instance, if an author were to compare a large elephant to a smaller character, in my experience, the most commonly used animal is the mouse. Ms. Hall, however, compliments an elephant with a ladybug. I thought this was interesting. I enjoyed this book as much as the other two I read and reviewed. I think this is a great book for families with young children and that is who I would recommend it to. I would give this book five out of five stars.

We have all marveled at the beauty of the world around us. When brothers Clive and Ian go out on a picnic one day, they discuss all the wonderful, beautiful things God has made.
Join Clive and Ian on their picnic and be reminded of all the wonders God has made. This book is a cute way for children to better understand what exactly the Bible meant when it said that God created the world. It’s also helpful to get young inquisitive minds interested in nature and the way the world works. The illustrations are good, utilizing bright colors to simulate a summer’s day. The inclusion of the flowers, butterflies, and birds provide the scene with an overall peaceful feel. On the pages where Clive discusses the presence of nothing, the illustrations are dark, however, not so dark that it would be scary to the younger audience and both Clive and Ian are clearly visible. The writing is thought-provoking while still being informative. I thought this book was well written and constructed and would give it five out of five stars. I would recommend it to Christian families with young children.

God created each one of his children to be special and incredible in their own way, and we all have an important job here on earth. When it is raining one afternoon, Clive and Ian must find ways to entertain themselves inside. Ian dawns a cape and proclaims himself ‘Ian the Incredible,' but what makes Ian incredible?
This is a cute little book, perfect for young readers just learning to read and any child who wonders whether or not he or she really is incredible. The illustrations are simple and filled with bright, eye-catching colors. The background details are simple enough that they don't distract from the actions of Clive and Ian. Clive and Ian themselves look similar to their puppet counterparts; they even maintain a certain fuzzy look to them. The writing itself is fun and upbeat. After Ian proclaims he is ‘Ian the Incredible' Clive asks him numerous funny questions before helping Ian to recognize what really makes him incredible. At the very end of the book, there are suggested activities and questions for parent and child to tackle together to help them to connect more to the story. I would definitely give this book five out of five stars and would recommend it to families with young children.
