Review of Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids

[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
I really enjoyed this book. I thought this was a cute and fun way to share aspects of the Bible with children. It's a great way to tell children about Heaven without scaring them or making them read something that they would think is boring. I think the book would've been better if the author found more fun/creative ways to add in more verses. Biblical angels don't look like people in all white with wings. I understand the intent was not to scare children (because biblical angels are scary) but it's just painting an inaccurate picture. I feel like this book contains a lot of text. I don't know the exact intended age range for this book but it seems way too advanced for super young children. There are too many words and not enough pictures. I feel as if this would be a good book for a 2nd or 3rd grader. They would better be able to understand some of the concepts and be more okay with the length of the text. I understand that the author is trying to teach about hell, I just don't think it is accurate that Jesus would take the girls to hell. That made no sense to me. I feel like an important detail to add to this book would be the Bible version that they are pulling these verses from.
I know it sounds like I was being very negative. I overall really enjoyed this book. I think it's a great way to introduce some important aspects of God, Heaven, and hell. I honestly would rate it a 4/5. I think some things could be improved but I truly believe that overall this was a very good book.
