My First Book About Jesus
Who is Jesus? Come and see! Jesus, the baby in the manger, is God's son, who calmed a storm, gave food to hungry people and make blind men see. Who is Jesus? Come and see!
This delightful collection of episodes from the life of Jesus from his birth right through to his ascension is bound to appeal to young children. The text is child-like but not childish as the stories describe the events as they happened without sentimentality. Young children like a story to be active and these episodes tell of all the major events and teaching that Jesus shared in a refreshing way. Simple and colourful illustrations will enrich the stories and furnish the imagination.

From The Good Bookstall - July 2010
The thoughtful cameo stories are carefully arranged to tell the whole life of Christ from the nativity to the transfiguration. Each little story just covers one or two pages and is amusingly illustrated with fun characters. This could easily be a read aloud book for those who cannot manage the text.
