OVERVIEW

Takes text of the story of the parable of the lost sheep, beginning with the Pharisees grumbling at Jesus and Jesus responding by telling the parable. The text is taken directly from the New International Version of the Bible, with drawings illustrating each scene in the story.

Ladwig creates some lovely artwork for this picture book. By sticking to the original text and only adding slight additions (the shepherd fighting off a wolf, animals playing nearby as Jesus teaches), the book presents the Bible story in a way that will perk children’s visual interests.

A great resource for introduce children to a well-known Bible story.
