All Things Bright and Beautiful (by Cecil Alexander)

The book's artwork is as bright and beautiful as the title ... and that's what this book is all about. Some readers may be less enthusiastic about the book's religious content than others, but anyone who picks it up should be able to appreciate the illustrations, which are breathtakingly hued and detailed.

Some parents will recognize the hymn as one they themselves sang as children or one that they've heard sung by choirs around the world.

Amazing "bright and beautiful" collages fill the book's pages. The colors are alive and vibrant, and the amount of detail created by different shades of paper is masterful. Water swirls down mountainsides, a multi-toned whale swims among fish of all shapes and sizes, and birds with glowing colors and tiny wings flutter against a rainbowed sky. And that's just the beginning!
