"Rumble! Zap! Pow!" by Diane Stortz and illustrated by Luke Daab is a very cute kid's Bible Storybook. Each story is written in comic strip form and are short and action-filled, definitely written to attract and maintain a preschooler's attention. In each story is a "mighty thought" - which tells who God is and what He does, a "power word" - which gives words from the Bible about the theme of the story, and an activity - to extend learning through movement and doing.
The stories and illustrations are done well and hold to scripture, while using words and pictures that young children could easily understand. The scripture memory for each story is a very short snapshot of the actual scripture, but easy for children to memorize and grasp what they are memorizing. And the activities are actually easy and do-able. So many of these types of books have activities that look good in theory but are hard to pull off. These are simple activities that preschoolers would enjoy while the point of the story is being driven home.
All in all, I think this is a fun Bible storybook and I wish I had it when my son was younger. I think young boys especially would enjoy it.
