Another great storytelling for all young Christian readers out there! Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids, by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul teaches an important part of Christianhood and the beauty of their artwork does an amazing job of providing these lessons. The story guides young Christian readers in learning about heaven and hell. As young Christians learning about their mission is critical in their growing years.

The book utilizes artwork to draw the most gorgeous parts of the story. Emma and Bella bring the reader along to learn about the wonders of heaven and the dangers of hell. The two girls explain their journey through heaven and ask questions about why people go to heaven. It's further explored through their father who provides biblical context of heaven descriptions. As Christian parents, we all want to provide the best advice and learning tools for our kids. Paul gives the most creative opportunity for young readers to grow and find the love of Jesus as did growing up.

Rearing toward explaining the concept of hell, the approach I thought was too abrupt. The poor girl woke up screaming from a dream that Jesus showed about hell. Most children have active imaginations and this wouldn't be the best way to explain to them. Learning the consequences is important but not giving children nightmares is. I would like the parents to explain the descriptions of hell to their kids instead of Jesus. Because Jesus is everything pure and good. Opposite of what heaven is. Other ways for little ones to learn about hell can come through the parents rather than a dream.

My children and I have enjoyed the book and recommend it to all Christian parents who have children between the ages of 5 through 10. Grab a bible, get cozy, and begin to learn about God's forever home for us. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because of the visuals and the use of scriptures for little ones to note in their bible. In my heart from one parent to another, this is a wonderful book we should all share on our shelves.
