One Hand, Two Hands Review

I recently read “One Hand, Two Hands” by Max Lucado. It is a book for young children to teach them the value of using their hands to the glory of God. It is a nice book that is written in a poetic style and rhymes most of the time. The art in the book is well done and would definitely keep a child entertained. I was interested in reviewing this book because we are soon going to have our first child. I was not too impressed with the forced rhyming in some of the areas of the book, and was not overwhelmed with the content as I usually am by Max’ books. The book tries to show that we have opportunities to use our hands to God’s glory, and that is probably a difficult concept to put into a children’s book. The message is definitely a good lesson for children to learn, but with the lack of flow in the rhyming, it was definitely not my favorite children’s book. I would not recommend the product to others. This is based primarily on the price. Its cover price is roughly $17, which seems pretty steep to me for a children’s book. While I usually enjoy Max’ books, this time I would steer clear.
