A Little Christian’s Animals is a Christian Children’s book by gifted author Lila Noffsinger. Lucy Shin expertly illustrates the charming animals and scripture scenes to coincide with the accompanying words. Children will delight in the rhyming prose as they hear about animals from the Bible.
Author Noffsinger offers a unique, entertaining, and educating book for children to learn the Bible beginning at a young age. With poetic phrases it will be easy for littles to memorize the verses and read along. Some of the animals include lions, dove, sheep, and even the snake from Genesis. The pictures are endearing and the short lesson engaging. This is a brilliant way to teach children about the Bible in a fun way.
This is a lovely book for children and works perfectly together with a child’s Bible to further explore the lessons. After the stories, there are a couple of pages of scripture references to expand on the lessons entitled Let’s Read More In Your Bible. References for The Jesus Storybook Bible and The Beginners Bible give the page number in each for the same stories.
I highly recommend this educational, entertaining, and enlightening book for children. This would make a great gift for any child aged one to five. Sunday School and Children’s Church teachers would benefit from having this in their classrooms. Church libraries will definitely want a copy or two. It would be great for a baby shower gift, also. It gets a 5 out of 5 star rating from me. A copy was provided by the author and Celebrate Lit, but these are my honest words.

More from Lila
I don’t need to look far to find inspiration for my books. Literally. My little inspirations are usually physically touching me. My three kids (ages 3 and under) bring joy, laughter, and a lot of books into my life. As a mom, I want books for them that are fun for me to read, engaging for them to look at, and enriching for their hearts and minds. What sprung up from that desire was The Little Christian Learning Collection, now including A Little Christian’s 123s, A Little Christian’s Animals, and the accompanying coloring & activity books.
It continues to fill me with joy when my kids pick these books off the shelf to read. My youngest daughter will toddle through the house with A Little Christian’s Animals in her hand, yelling “Am-mi-mals!” as a request to read it. If I accidentally skip the frog on the first page, she will turn back to it so she can point it out. Frogs have become her favorite animals, and, based on Lucy Shin’s adorable portrayal of them, I can’t blame her.
I’ve been so honored by the reports of these books being similarly loved in other households. It brings me so much joy to know that kids are asking to read these Bible stories over and over again.
I love the work that goes into constructing these books. The rhymes are fun to ponder over as I rock babies or cook dinner. I love the research that goes into making the illustrations historically and geographically accurate. Illustrator Lucy Shin is a joy to work with, and the way she turns my notes and scribbles into something adorable seems like magic to me.
I’ve also really enjoyed putting together the coloring and activity books. It’s yet another way to let kids engage with Bible stories, learn something new, and have fun doing it! I’ve been surprised by what a hit they’ve become, and I’m so glad that kiddos around the country are enjoying them. If you want a taste, ALL of the coloring pages are available for free here: https://www.seedlingsbooks.com/color
Overall, writing these books has been a huge blessing, and I’m continually honored to hear how they’re being enjoyed by little readers. Keep your eyes open for more in the Little Christian Learning Collection! There’s more to come.
