The story is well written by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul; it helps with imagining as well as has images to depict the dreams of
Emma. The characters are sweet and loving towards each other. The book "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" is a soft yet crisp description of Heaven and Hell that children can relate to easily.

The book also might subtly make children enjoy and look forward to listening to Bible stories before bedtime. Children might find creative inspiration as there are images along with the story at appropriate points; this helps in perceiving and confirming if they are reading it and understanding it correctly. It can also help build confidence in reading the book all by themselves and The book is appropriate in size and is interesting all the way through, so the kids can keep their attention yet be excited to read and understand what it is meant to do. The colour schemes used in the images were quite playful and positive. The story of Jesus is laid out in a short, simple, and easy-to-understand format.


There were point of times when the timeline was not clearly mentioned as in, it was not clear when and which day it was when she dreamt which dream, but I believe that might not be a concern for kids, as they might focus on the story, meaning, and images more. Overall, it was a sweet family story that invokes eagerness to learn more about Christianity and read the Bible at a very early age, and this can inculcate the learnings at an early stage of life. If kids love doodling, they might be tempted to recreate the cute images on their own, which might be another fun way to read the book again and learn anything that they might have missed the first time around.

I would give it a rating of 3 out of 5, simply because the book might inspire kids to explore the meaning of their dreams. Dreamworld can be raw and intuitive and hence worth exploring at all ages.

I would recommend kid from the age 4 to 8 to read the book especially if they are creatively inclined.
