5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent re-telling of New Testament stories., 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stories Jesus Told: Omnibus Edition (Hardcover)
This book is a must in every family library, pre-school library and sunday-school teacher's resource box. The stories are clearly told with appropriate Scripture references, the illustrations are delightful and are great discussion pieces, and each story finishes with an assurance to the child that they are loved by God. Both my 4 and 8 year old children demand this book regularly at bedtime. I look forward to a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stories Jesus Told, 22 Mar 2006
As with all Mick Inkpen books, the illustrations are wonderful. There is such attention to detail! This book is very popular in our house which is unusual for a religious text. My daughter is six and the text is just the right level for her to read herself while my 3 yr old son likes to have it read to him. They both love the house on the rock. A great book to bring these bible stories alive for young children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and humorous, 28 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Stories Jesus Told: Omnibus Edition (Hardcover)
A creative presentation of some of Jesus' stories - retold and illustrated with insight and humour. My two year old particularly likes the 'missing coins story' as a cat features quite prominently. Slightly less exuberant than other books written by these authors, but a FAR better read than most Bible story books.
