The illustrator did a great job making the stories come to life through the pages. The text outlined various stories in the New Testament about Jesus and his disciples. It allowed us to see how we are similar to those in the bible and we all make mistakes. We should model our lives after the saints (disciples) in this book as they tried their best to live out Jesus’s message. This would make a good book to do as a choral reading with children. It has sound effects written on the pages and the illustrations promote children to ask questions because it shows different cultures and places. Multiple cultures are represented among Jesus’s Disciples as well. There are also other Old Testament stories written by the author and illustrator that reinforce the teachings of Christianity.

We've read this book several times as part of our family devotions. The stories are easy for the kids to read and the artwork is very rich. The thing I like the most, however, is that there is an attempt to make Jesus' teachings tangible for kids. Too often Bible story books focus on the amazing events (David and Goliath, Jonah, etc.). Don't get me wrong. Those stories are great and there are great lessons they can teach us, but if we only look at them we have an inaccurate picture of God. I commend this little book for presenting Jesus' teachings in an accurate but kid friendly way that will hopefully help lead them down the road to true belief in the god of the Bible.
