A mother describes God by comparing Him to things her son is familiar with, including a drop of rain and a waterfall. The metaphors are prosaic, but the illustrations add a touch of fantasy to the everyday images. Although unremarkable, this will be appreciated by parents looking for illustrated books that help explain the concept of God to a very young child.

A polar bear father describes Heaven to his cub. Heaven, he explains, will be a place without any of the cares of the world, and it will be "like the best family reunion ever." The simple narrative is illustrated with quiet watercolors showing smiling Arctic animals. Although it's generally bland, this will be a useful selection for some families.
