Customer Reviews

beautiful & well-told

Several parabels are told, each with beautiful illustrations. Each starts out with "One day Jesus told a story. This is what He said..." The parabels are simplified for children to understand, yet they do not lose the accuracy of scripture. There is also a follow-up for each parabel, saying "What did you learn?" and then summarizing the lesson. These are simple and short, and easily accomodate a wide range of children.

Parables Simplified

This is an excellent book to introduce young children to the parables of Jesus. I have never used better material that keeps children excited and looking forward to what each page reveals.

Nice but not for 9-12 year old reading level as billed...

A reading Level of 9-12 (years old) is shown for this book but this is misleading. It is a picture book with one sentence every two pages. Best suited for the preschool set (2-4 years old).

It's the favorite!

My 2-year old daugther LOVES this book!! Has had it almost a week and wants it read every nap and nigthtime! "Tell me the Jesus stories" is what she says! Only 5 parables but she doesn't mind the repeating! Now we're looking for a Volume Two...

superb book

This is in effect a continuation of the award-winning Read-Aloud series and is if anything the best of the bunch. It has the same size, very similar format, and same superb author and illustrator team. (It was also the last book illustrated by Kent Puckett before he died, so it is his legacy book.) Each of the five parables is introduced as a story Jesus told; like the parables in Scripture, all or most of them suggest the salvation story. The colors are probably a little bit brighter than in the Read-Aloud books but the illustrations are just as good. I have given it to several families with new babies as a gift, and my two-year-old nephew quickly chose it as his favorite book.
