Lots of jokes here but most of them over my eight year old son's head. He did like this and he remembered the take home message - do not fear or more specifically do not let fear control you but look to God to save you and give you a brave heart. This might be a book he grows into but as the adult reading it out loud I did not find it that funny. Black and white cartoon illustrations complement this text.

I loved it it's for Christians.

It is good, and even sometimes it made me chuckle. Very good for the young ones who are shy or always scared.

Great transition from picture book to chapter book.
