Book Review : Better Than A Superhero

This book is being featured on the Australian Christian Readers Blog Alliance this week. Information about the author and more details about the book can be found here.

Better than a superhero by Belinda Francis is a great way of teaching children about Jesus. It covers many aspects of Jesus’ character and his mission. It touches on stories from the gospel accounts and gives children a great overview of Jesus’ life as well as explaining his kingship. Furthermore the book encourages children to talk to Jesus and have a relationship with him.

I especially like Kayleen West’s illustrations of Jesus, as well as coming across as caring, he also looks happy which I think is an important concept in itself. The rest of the illustrations are great too – attractive and appropriate to the text.

An instructive and fun book for young children.
