Excellent Illumination of Parable

I read this book aloud to my 4th grade class (at a private Christian school) and I, along with all my students, agreed that it was an excellent book! Being able to better understand a teaching of Jesus though a mode that students are familiar with (a story book) was very useful. It was obvious to my students that the author was not advocating that life is one big ice-cream party. Instead, it gave my students insight into God's character. For instance, King Leonard grieved over each "person" who didn't come to his party, just was God cares about each person individually.
