I love this book for so many reasons. Not only does you child receive a cultural lesson from the pictures and some vocabulary and names, but also a valuable moral lesson almost straight from a parable. The images are vibrant and provide for the imagination. Both men are the average man in different economical places in life. While nobody is really a “bad” guy in this story lessons are learned and all can move forward. This is one of those stories that is fun to read and your child might not even realize they are learning lessons for life.
Typed on Kindle Fire.
Thanks to Zondervan for providing an ARC version for review.
