A fascinating flap book full of bustling scenes from the time of Jesus
that will keep inquiring young minds busy. Detailed depictions of Bible
history are enhanced by a glimpse behind the scenes with flaps to lift
on every page. Brief text explains the setting of the picture, and
references events and stories from Jesus’ life. The captivating pictures
and to-the-point text make this book especially useful for encouraging
reluctant readers. The book covers the first Christmas, a synagogue and
carpenter’s workshop in Nazareth, fishing in Capernaum, farming and
shepherding in the hills of Galilee, homes of the wealthy and everyday
people, the temple in Jerusalem, the way of the cross, and the first
Easter.

My Review:
What a great book to add to your children’s collection, and their
spiritual education. The book is well illustrated and has very bright
colors. Added to each page along with the story are little flip ups, a
surprise with each of the individual pictures.
The story begins with
the Stable in Bethlehem, at home in Nazareth, and as you read to your
child they can open the flap at “who is in the carpenter’s workshop”?
As we follow further into Jesus’s life we are by the shore of Lake
Galilee, open one of the doors; Fishermen sell their catch, “splish
splash”. Then we have a rich man’s feast, and we can “open the
shutters”.
Traveling further along in the book are A Roman Trial, and
A Garden Tomb. The book is made out of very sturdy cardboard, and you
can spend a long and great time together getting to learn about the life
of Jesus, and shows the world that Jesus knew.
Found this to be an adorable activity to spend with my child, along with being educational.
I received this book through Kregel Publications and was not required to give a positive review.
