Zaydo Potato: Can Allah See Me Now?: Zaydo Potato: (An Islamic Book Series) Paperback – August 29, 2017

I am always on the hunt for books that may benefit my children, especially my 3 year old, because he has become more selective when it comes to books these days.Every now and then I’ll go to Amazon.com and search for things like, ” Islamic Books for Kids”. It is really amazing to see how the variety of books that appear in my searches keep increasing. After my most recent search, I came across the book, Zaydo Potato , Can Allah See Me Now? by Randa Taftaf and Ma Galini. I decided to give it a try and I am so pleased that I did!I never know what to expect because some Islamic books for children really lack something that engages my son. What I discovered was that this book really went with my son’s personality . It starts out with two cousins playing hide and go seek. This is my son’s favorite game so it hooked him right away. He was very eager to see what Zayd and Kareem were going to do next. The questions that they asked about Allah, are really ones that I could see him asking me as well. Since he has become more interested in talking about Allah lately, I can tell that the questions really sparked his curiosity. The illustrations were very fun. He had a blast looking for the potato on each page. We had a good giggle about that. He was also intrigued by Pepper, the pet cat.Personally, I loved how the authors used some of the names of Allah and explained their translations. This was excellent way for me to expose my son to the different characteristics of Allah. They even made an additional glossary page in the back that explained the names of Allah further. In addition, there are two pages in the back explaining some tips to the parent on what kind of activities and discussions they could do with their children. For example, telling what shapes are on certain pages or asking about how many animals they can find in the book. We even extended it to asking about their facial expressions and what emotions they might be feeling.

Good book but the illustrations are not very catchy. But talks about different names of Allah. Great way to make them learn it.

simple yet very beautiful story telling. easy to understand by both my kids 4.5 and 1.5 years old

Alhumdullilah

Love it

Beautiful tale with lovely illustrations.

Great love the book.

One of the most important values we can teach our kids is that of The presence of Allah constantly with us. If our kids learn to be aware of this, I feel like everything else in their deen will fall into place inshaAllah, because they will mold their life into pleasing Allah❤️This book is perfect for ages 4 and up! My kids enjoyed reading about how Zayd and Kareem (also the names of their cousins😉) play a game of hide and seek. The kids keep hiding and asking their mother if Allah can see them. Their mother teaches them that Allah can see you no matter where you hide. It is a beautiful moral taught with adorable illustrations and easy to understand words. At the end of the book, there are activities to make the story even more enjoyable, such as looking for shapes in the book.

Lovely idea book, could improve on the use of describing words. Embed more key words to do with actual topic of book. Otherwise my son does enjoy the book.

Kids and I love this book! I'm sure its been a year and we're still reading it!

A beautiful book . I got it for my little son who loves reading. This is a book that teaches some of the beautiful names of Allah in a simple and attractive way. I also got him the other book Allah loves me . Best wishes for more books . Jazak Allah Khair.

Masha Allah introduce the concept ... Allah can see you wherever you are. Love the book
