A super book with the usual lovely illustrations you’d expect from these guys. My granddaughter loves it!
We have bought a number of these as a church to give at baptisms. They are lovely books, and were delivered well packaged and very promptly.
This was bought for our son, now 20, and it was his favourite bedtime book. We read it to him until he could read it for himself. We now buy it for other children. Iconic!
What a joy to share this book with my grandchildren. My own children enjoyed reading this retelling of this bible story so it brings back many memories. The illustrations are quite simply divine.
This has been a firm favourite in our house since the kids were very young. The words are simple (as they should be for the target audience) but very well crafted and they are faithful to the stories with the main point of the passage coming through clearly. The pictures are warm and combine perfectly with the words to get the message across. We've tried lots of story books, secular and Christians, and no many of them manage this as well as Stories Jesus Told. Finally, I like the fact that the Bible passages for each story are printed in the book, making the point that they are not simply made up. Great for children from 2 onwards I would say, and our 6 year old now enjoys reading the stories herself.
I bought it as a Christening present for a friend's baby. I liked it very much and she was thrilled with it. The illustrations are beautiful with appropriate details for children to point at and talk about. The text is simple and well written.
Great to read with my under 2 before bed - he really loves it and asks for the lost sheep and precious pearl every night! Well written, simple, good illustrations and each story is introduced with the Bible text. Was given as a present - works really well.
