Even little ones have fears. Snuggle Time Psalms gives them the security of knowing that their heavenly Father will watch over and guide them, no matter what! Each day brings new struggles and challenges for children. What a wonderful tool this book is to calm a child's heart and to set it back onto a secure path. And as the pages are read and re-read, the truths of the Psalms will become ingrained within our little ones so that even as they grow older, they will rely on God's words of comfort and guidance.

Children's books written by Glenys Nellist are always special but this darling book that focuses on the Psalms is a true delight. The book features fifteen different passages in Psalms and takes the concept of the particular Scripture and uses a poem to bring understanding.

After reading it to one of my sweet grands I can imagine enjoying this book over and over again. It is a nice addition to the bedtime routine. The portions are short and sweet so your toddler can pay attention and then hopefully be tucked nicely into bed.

I would be totally remiss if I didn't mention just how lovely the illustrations by Cee Biscoe are. Lots of soft and cuddly animals in beautiful pastel colors. The pictures truly do compliment the story. I look forward to many nights of reading this book and I think you will too.

I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review. (Posted on 9/21/2016)

Snuggle Time Psalms is a fantastic board book to share with little ones. There are adorable illustrations of various animals on each 2-page spread along with a Bible verse and a short (rhyming) version of the Psalms.

There are 15 psalms total in Snuggle Time Psalms. They include the following Psalms: 4, 6, 8, 18, 23, 63, 84, 91, 95, 103, 104, 113, 121, 133, and 139. (To be clear, these are re-tellings of the Psalms, not the Biblical text.) What I especially enjoyed about this book of psalms is that each of them are written in the first person (from the child's point of view). I thought this was unique and a great way to help teach children about the psalms and about how they can talk to God (like the other great book from this author/illustrator duo, Snuggle Time Prayers).

Both Snuggle Time Psalms and Snuggle Time Prayers have both been fast favorites in our house.

“Snuggle Time Psalms” was sent to me free of charge, by Zonderkidz – a division of Zondervan Publishing – in exchange for my honest review.

“Snuggle Time Psalms” is a children’s picture/board book. It was written by Glenys Nellist, and illustrated by Cee Biscoe.

In this little book, that I would consider a child’s devotional, Glenys has picked out several of the Psalms. She has chosen one verse from each (which she includes) and has written a precious poem for it.

I definitely feel that a tiny tot would enjoy flipping through the pretty pictures (And, because it’s a board book, you won’t have to worry about them tearing it up.) It is written in a way that I would recommend it for young readers and those who love to read stories to children. I believe they will sit, enthralled in the rhymes and rhythm.

I love reading to my toddler before bed and he is a definite snuggle bug so Snuggle Time Psalms sounded like the perfect bedtime read to us!

Jax really loves animals so he was excited to see the mommy and baby elephants on the cover, beautifully illustrated by Cee Biscoe along with the rest of the book.

Each page has a title, Bible verse from Psalms and then a mini devotion of sorts for the little ones. They are short and sweet to accommodate young attention spans and whimsical to capture their attention.

The page across from it has illustrations of all different kinds of animals from bears to monkeys and everything between!

I like that they are so short individually but you can continue to read if your little one wants more. It gives you the option to dictate the length without cutting off a story midway. There's nothing worse than leaving kids hanging with an unfinished chapter!

Jax loves Snuggle Time Psalms and I often find him just flipping through it naming the animals like he's reading! It's a great educational tool for him Biblically as well as for one learning animals and words! (Posted on 8/8/2016)

With the word "snuggle" right in the title I knew I had a winner of a book. My kids love the chance to snuggle and so do I! This book was a great addition to our evening cuddle times of reading. We would read a couple pages each night to stretch the fun out but this book could be read in one easy sitting.

My son seems to love rhyming books right now so he kept pointing out the rhyming words. The pictures were colorful and pleasing to us all and the fact that my kids are understanding some of the Psalms is a bonus.

As we continued to read a Psalm or two each night I felt a peace come upon us! It is amazing to think that Godly peace is felt even through a children's version! God is so good! (Posted on 8/1/2016)

I am a big fan of Glenys Nellist's books. She writes lovely and engaging prayers and poetry. I enjoy them as an adult and highly recommend them for children. In Snuggle Time Psalms she shares a short verse then gives a rhyming prayer. The prayers talk about things a child might think about; fear in the night, being scared, love and friendship. This would be a great book for an early reader to keep by their bed. And it would be wonderful to read with your little one before they go to sleep. Cee Biscoe has created precious illustrations that make the book even more beautiful. Children will love her sweet rendition of animals and nature. If you are looking for a way to share God's love with a child, this is a great pick. I received this book in exchange for a fair review. (Posted on 7/30/2016)

Glenys Nellist has written some pretty great children's book and her latest Snuggle Time Psalms is no different than any of the others she has written. They really appeal to children and as a gift giver like I am, I have to say these books make great gifts.


Snuggle Time Psalms, is a great little book to read to your little one. They are Psalms that are short and sweet and they give momma or daddy a good excuse to snuggle with that toddler or preschooler that is always on the run.


This book could quickly become a childhood favorite toted around by tiny hands. It even has the sweetest graphics to sum the whole thing up. It includes 15 Psalms in all and the illustrations are just the most precious ones I have seen in awhile.
