This is such an eye-catching and rewarding book for little ones to learn about the Bible. Illustrated by Peter Kent, the pictures are detailed, brilliantly colored and they all tell a story. From the first page, the reader is told to remember to look and find the wily fox in every scene!
Each two page spread is a new scene with a new story. The story is titled, for example Farming the Land. Then it will tell you about what time period that was - late fifteen or thirteenth centure BCE as well as where that story is in the Bible - Joshua.
Then around the two page illustration that is really eye-catching, there are little tidbits for the child to do. For example - find the woman watering a melon patch or thieves might steal grapes. Find the three watchtowers from which the three vineyards would be guarded.
It's really an interactive storybook where the reader is the detective. Although it's suggested age seven and up, I think parents could easily read this book with a three or four year old because of the awesome details of the illustrations. Great addition to your home library!
