All God's Critters Sing Allelu
Written by pj lyons and illustrated by Carol Herring
Bow-wow, meow, cocka-doodle-doo. All God’s critters sing allelu!
Dogs and cats, cows and sheep, frogs and crickets: all creation comes together in this rhyming picture book. All God’s Critters Sing Allelu uses all the English phonemes, the smallest unit of sound that distinguishes one word from another word, to assist ages 0-4 in language acquisition and reading readiness. Follow along as lively illustrations depict each part in a harmony of sounds, encouraging kids to join in praising God.
Give a child in your life the gift of the sounds in English. Plus, it’s fun to read it aloud: Bow-wow, Meow, Cocka-doodle-doooo!
What Others are Saying…
I “join the chorus and sing the praise” of this engaging children’s book .. a keep- forever book to treasure generation after generation!
Sue Buchanan author of Mud Pie Annie and the Song of God’s Love series.
Celebrate the wonders of God’s creation and join birds, sheep, frogs and other critters as they sing Allelu. This joyful, lilting poem of praise begs to be read aloud—with gusto!
Susan Collins Thoms, author of Noah’s Ark and Jonah and the Big Fish
What a beautiful way to introduce young children to the idea of praising God’s “good and loving ways!” Little ones will soon be repeating the words and joining the “critters” as they “sing allelu.” The language is perfectly crafted, and the drawings are sure to delight. All God’s Creatures Sing Allelu is a wonderful addition to home or church school collections.
Elizabeth Raum, author of Crossroads in Jerusalem and Drive-Through Christmas Eve and Other Stories for Christmas.
Part children’s poetry and all praise, this fun read- aloud invites children and grownups to make plenty of joyful noises together. Even the youngest readers will “sing allelu!”

God Is Watching Over You
Written by pj lyons and illustrated by Tim Warnes
A reassuring rhyme, full of the soothing “S” sound and the reminder that God watches over us, to help your little ones settle down to sleep.
I wrote this for the four-year old me, who was uneasy about the possibility of monsters in the closet and under the bed. I would have gone to sleep so much easier.
In the same fashion as Thank You, Lord, for Everything, this book uses all the phonemes (smallest unit of sound) in English to help children learn to speak and read.
What Others Are Saying…
Lovely book, excellent children’s literature, great message
I’m very picky about my children’s literature, and I’m in love with this book for several reasons.
My baby has always loved it.
The illustrations are clear and creative and beautiful.
It’s lovely poetry.
It will be a simple one for my daughter to read when she starts reading.
There are not too many lines of text per page, which would cause impatience in our little one.
It’s an exquisite reminder of God’s presence and love for His children.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Great book and message.
This is a replacement purchase because my kids love it so much. Our first book fell apart because it was read at least twice a day for 2 years. I love the message of this book.
