In this clever rhyme, children begin by considering their eyes -- and what eyes do -- as gifts from God. "But, " says the refrain, "they are not God's Best gift!" The verses then move through the other senses as the guessing game continues. Each person has this gift, but it is neither some bodily function nor even a material thing like money. The final line reveals the answer: "God's very best gift is the gift of ...Himself!"While the book's subtle theme is implicitly Christian, it will have special meaning for any believer who feels the Divine actively present in the world.
