[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids" by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul.]
Personal opinion: As a reader, I found the book enjoyable and uplifting. The colorful illustrations and positive themes leave a long-lasting impression on the reader's mind.
Plot Summary: The story revolves around an eight-year-old Emma, who often dreams of visiting heaven. This is a result of her parents, who narrate the teachings of the Bible to Emma and Bella (Emma's younger sister) through bedtime stories, making them develop belief and faith in God. Emma excitedly shares her dream adventures with her family, making them curious and happy at the same time.
Character insights:
1. Emma is a delightful, curious, imaginative, and relatable character to young kids who adds
charm to the story through her amazing narratives.
2. Bella: Her character is supportive, but I feel more depth could have been given to her character.
Writing style and language:
The authors maintained a clear, simple, and age-appropriate writing style, which is very suitable for kids in the age range of 4 to 10. The flow of the narrative keeps the readers engaged.
Message: Faith, Belief, and Moral Values: The book conveys the importance of faith and belief in God to children. The book imparts moral values through Emma's dreams.
Readability: The colorful illustrations are enough to catch the attention of young readers. The book is well-paced with its concise 32 pages.
Recommendation: I recommend this book for kids in the age group 4–10, as it serves as a wonderful bedtime story.
Rating: I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because Emma's dreams took center stage, and a deeper exploration of Bella's character would have been nice.
Favorite scene: Jesus spoke of heaven being a home for those who have the innocence and humility of children.
