Customer Reviews

This is my daughter's favorite book in the series

The entire Follow the Leader series is so good. They follow the Bible story very well. I love the way they are written, and the illustrations are incredible. I would highly recommend all of the books. I just wish there were more books in the series.

visually wonderful, true to Scripture

This whole series of four books are about the best I have seen of Bible-based books for children. In Courage, Esther, nice artistic touches include a page reminiscent of Cinderella and her stepsisters primping for the ball, a Persian cat on just about every page once Esther becomes the Persian queen, and vivid, colorful details on every page. From a text standpoint, the storyline is interesting and relatively detailed, yet it does not include extraneous imaginary details like making up names for Esther's deceased parents. These books are a great way to introduce kids to some of the important stories of the Old Testament.
