These seek-and-find books have been so well-loved in our home and are the perfect rest-time book. We have brought them on vacations for airplane or car travel or for spending quality time with your child interactively learning about stories from the Bible.
With each spread, there is a summary paragraph of the Bible story, a Bible reference to look up the passage, and then 10 prompts to find in the amazingly illustrated image.
If you have a child who enjoys seek-and-find books, I cannot recommend these enough!!
Hours of entertainment & bible learning! 🤩

This board book features eight double-page spreads with illustrations of scenes from the Old Testament. Sarah Parker introduces each story in a brief paragraph, and she includes both the Bible reference and a simple takeaway message from that story, such as, "We can trust God when things are hard." The illustrations from André Parker visualize the story and include lots of little details for kids to look for based on the sidebar. The book includes multiple popular Old Testament Bible stories, including the story of Joseph, the parting of the Red Sea, and Esther.
This activity-focused book does not retell the stories in detail, so if someone is looking for a book with more information about each narrative, this won't be their first choice. However, this is a great book to supplement family readings of each Bible story, or for kids who are already very familiar with the material. The illustrations include both historically accurate and whimsical details, but they never take liberties with the source material, and the characters reflect a variety of different skin tones, according to their real-life ethnic backgrounds.
This will be a fun gift book for kids, can be a supplement to family devotions, and would be a good activity book for a Sunday school or church preschool environment. It is also complex enough that it is not just for very young children. Younger kids can focus on the elements that are easier to find, while older kids will be able to find more and can do some of the additional challenges described inside the front covers. This is a great seek-and-find book that explores lessons from Bible stories in a simple and appealing way, and I highly recommend the whole series.
I received a free copy from the publisher, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I was happy to see another addition to this series, as our other ones have been loved! I like to give these seek and find books to my littles during morning time. It keeps their hands occupied and them usually quiet.
I especially like that each story includes the Biblical reference so if you were using this in a preschool class it would be very helpful to know where to turn to. And also 👏🏻 for including the story of Esther! I have often seen this story omitted from story Bibles and that makes me sad because the story of Esther is beautiful and very important!
We are big fans of the series! We never leave the house without one of these books in tow, they’re perfect for sitting down at restaurants, along car rides, short, car rides, or just every day entertainment! I love that they bring the Bible alive on each page and story that they use! And I love all of the illustrations that they use as well! My kids have so much fun finding all of the fun things on each page. Thank you guys so much for such a fun series!
We love this book! It’s hardcover, and full of search and find items. What a great way to keep little hands busy while teaching gospel truths.
If your child loves seek and find books, this one is so fun! This new book is part of a series and if you aren't farmiliar with them, they are such a great addition to any home library. These are also great for teaching counting and reinforcing number recognition. I love that they can easy be used for travel or to help entertain children with endless pictures to find. Each page is a Bible story with a quick overview of the story and the Bible references so you can read the Bible story together in addition. There are 8 Bible stories in this lovely and sturdy book:
📖 Abraham and Sarah
📖 Joseph's Dream
📖 Joseph in Egypt
📖 The Red Sea
📖 Strong Samson
📖 Elijah and The Fire
📖 Songs for God (Psalm 23)
📖 Brave Esther
These books are so fun for parents and children alike!
Thank you @thegoodbookcompanyusa for a copy of the book for my honest thoughts!
This is such a fun series! We have had the privilege of reviewing Sarah's previous two books in this series and they were fantastic! This new one is just as great!
This version dives into eight Old Testament stories that Parker did not include in her original Seek & Find Old Testament book. The stories include:
- Joseph in Egypt
- The Red Sea
- Abraham & Sarah
- Joseph's Dream
- Strong Samson
- Elijah & The Fire
- Songs for God
- Brave Queen Esther
Just like the others before it, the book includes extremely engaging illustrations, scripture references, and ten characters/items to find in each picture.
Any child, young and old, will enjoy interacting with this book and searching for the treasures within biblical stories.
This would be a great addition to any children's library.
I received a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.
I love spending time in this book with my almost 3 year old. We're able to search for items, which he enjoys at this age, but we also get to practice counting. I love how each story includes a Bible passage we can read.
Sometimes it can be a challenge to keep your little ones engrossed in the Bible. That’s why I adore the Seek and Find series. These interactive books contain eight stories from the Bible. Each one gives a brief description of a story from the Bible with the associated verse, and then lists ten things to find in the captivating illustrations. Kids as young as two will have a blast looking for Biblical characters, animals, flowers, tools, and more, all the while learning about the attributes of God.
My 5 year old daughter and I both loved Seek and Find: Old Testament Bible Stories and New Testament Bible Stories as well as their companion activity books, so we were so excited to find out about Seek and Find: More Old Testament Bible Stories. This one includes stories about Abraham, Joseph, Samson, Elijah, and Esther, as well as more than 450 things to find and count. My daughter's favorite part was looking for the Ruth Wren on every page. She is five, and even though the seek and find aspect is getting easier for her, she still enjoys the stories and the bright illustrations filled with so many fun details.
I highly recommend this gorgeous board book for ages 2-5. Kids will learn Biblical truths like, “God is a promise-keeper!” and “We can trust God when things are hard.”

I have been looking forward to seeing more of this series! We use these to help occupy little hands during family devotions and I’m so thankful for these resources that help us parents disciple in truth.
