I decided to review a different kind of book from the BookLook Bloggers program this go round. It is a full-color biography for kids written by Nancy I. Sanders. Nancy is a bestselling children's author of over 80 books (www.nancyisanders.com). Nancy has created the "Get To Know" series which includes several different biographies, including Jesus and King David. I wanted to check out the biography for kids about the Apostle Paul, since he is one of my favorite persons from the Bible.
First of all, I have to say that the biography is beautifully illustrated. The book is so colorful throughout, that it will help keep your child's attention as he/she is reading factual information from Paul's life. The book includes 4 colored maps and a timeline, as well as many Scripture references and fun facts. The book is 121 pages long and it includes a glossary, source notes and a selected bibliography.
This book would be a wonderful resource for a student to complete a book report about the Apostle Paul. It is an easy read, and honestly could be read in one setting if a person wanted to read it that quickly. In my opinion, children and teens will enjoy reading this book because of the way this book is written, organized and illustrated.
I recommend this book (as well as others in the series) for parents to purchase for their children. I think the "Get To Know" series would be an excellent resource for homeschooling families too. Another great perk is that this book is only $6.99 retail, a good deal for a resource with so much information included.
I received this book complimentary from BookLook Bloggers and I in return agreed to write this review.
