God's the One Who Thought of It First (Happy Day Book) 1 review Joan N. Keener
Standard Pub, 1998
God IS the one who thought of it first!!!
This is a really great book. It really shows kids that even though people claim to have "invented" things, like the helicopter, for example, God is really the one who thought of it first! It uses examples from God's amazing creation to show how HE is original inventor! We read it to our Sparkies ...

I am an avid fan of paper airplane models. I especially like making scale models of real aircraft. After having made all sorts I found this book really nice because of the little history on each plane that the book gives. Though it would have been really good if the models were 3-D and if the plans ...

Fabulous!
+ Good for kids who like elevators + Another fine book from Mathstart
My 7 year-old, home schooled son loves elevators so much that we made one from a refrigerator box!
