Hott Review:
What I liked: The Story of King Jesus is a sweet board book I’d enjoy sharing with little ones. It’s taken a bit of artistic liberty to make it simple for the kiddos and changed it to familiar terms but generally, The Story of King Jesus complies with the Bible.
I wish I’d had The Story of King Jesus to share with the kids when they were little. It was amazing to me how he was able to cram so much of the Bible into a short kids book and still keep it enticing! Plus, give us hope for the future. 😉
What I didn’t like: First, the book has been removed from the Kindle Library. So, you can’t purchase it. I’m guessing that they’re fiixing the issues. Honestly, though, the only real issue is that there is no text per se. The text is included on the images. Which is annoying for me, but I’m sure very difficult for readers that need a larger font.
