I was afraid when I first requested this book that my little one, being five years old, wouldn’t like it because its design is geared for a younger audience. I couldn’t have been more wrong. He didn’t even notice the thickness of the pages or the padded cover. He really liked the size of the book because it is easy for him to carry around, and lightweight too.
When I sat down to read to him, he wasn’t as interested, at first, in hearing the stories as I’d hoped. However, once we got a couple pages in, his attention shifted from trying to hurry me through to actually paying close attention to the words and he even laughed at some of the rhymes. He loved the illustrations– especially Joseph’s bright coat, the stars in the sky that Abraham gazed at, and the giant whale that swallowed Jonah whole! He quickly claimed the book as his and his only! He loved it so much, he wanted to take it to school (kindergarten) to show his teacher and friends!
Not only did my little one enjoy it, but I enjoyed it as well. And much to my surprise, my twelve year old daughter joined us once it caught her attention. She, too, loved the book! She thought it was “neat” how each story was written as poetry, and even said it really makes the Biblical accounts much easier to remember.
This is a great book for kids of all ages, and a great way to introduce Biblical truths in an easy to understand fashion! If you have little ones in your home; grands, nieces, nephews, or even the child of a friend or church member, this book would make an excellent gift for any occasion! (It would also make a great addition to those Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes!)
My rating: 
On a scale of one to five, I give this book five gigantic stars: I think it’s fairly obvious my reasons for giving this book a five-star rating. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my children and am excited to share it with the children of my church as well!
