Melody Carlson's Retelling Is Just Wonderful

We've had this book for a long time, probably 8 years, since we got it as a gift when our first son was born. Since that time, we have re-read this many, many times. It's truly one of my favorites, and it turned us on to Melody Carlson as a favorite author. I'm trying to collect all her books, but we especially like this one and It's Not Funny, I've Lost My Money as well as The Other Brother. We also have the books in her series, "Just Like Jesus Said". Highly recommended! And the illustrations are great, too!

Very cute!

This is a very nice book. I like how the story didn't veer off from the original Biblical version the way a lot of Bible story books do. Luke 15 1-7 is a very important parable and this book presents it in a gentle, Christ centered way. The illustrations are lovely, the story was sweet and accurate. Makes a lovely bedtime storybook for young children.

An entertaining teaching story

The colorful illustrations and the light-hearted rhyming carry this book effortlessly along. And, I like how Jesus' words are presented on the last page of the book.
