The Lord God made them all!
A lush little board book edition of the beloved hymn.

Review
"The famous hymn is given beguiling illustrations in this board book."--Kirkus Reviewsand#160;and#8220;This well-known hymn is considered a particularly accessible one for children. Here the words are matched by Stoop's charming pictures painted on wood. Pictures of 'all things wise and wonderful' feature a little girl and her monkey surrounded by an elephant, a giraffe, a rhino, bears, rabbits, and birds. They cavort throughout the day and enjoy the pleasures of the natural world until night falls. With two lines to a sturdy page, this board book will be a nice introduction to the song for the very youngest.and#8221; --Booklist
