Customer Reviews

The first in a great set of Book of Mormon story books.

This is the first of three (so far but maybe only three) of a series of Book of Mormon based caricature books giving a small overview of the origional stories. These however are more visual then the Book of Mormon and give kids a testimony (without their even knowing it) and getting them excited and knowlagable of the stories contained therin. Great series and I would recomend them to any religious parent looking to get their kids excited about religion, God, and their own Salvation. Includes FHE idea for your family to use on Monday nights.

Great book!

We have the first three volumes of these books and my 4 year old LOVES them and I love the Home Evening ideas at the end of each story.

Love it!

I love these books! I own both volumes, and I actually really enjoy the illustrations. I know they are "busy", but I have "serious" LDS books for my kids, it's nice to have fun ones that they are totally excited about. I love to look in detail at the pictures, because there are so many interesting things in the illustrations (for adults). I love how he keeps characters looking the same in different stories. For example, he shows Alma, as a young man, being converted by the words of Abinadi, and in a different story, he shows Alma praying for his son, Alma the Younger. This time, Alma is an old man, but he wears the same outfit he wore when he was young, and he looks like the same character, but older. This makes it easier for kids to understand how the stories and characters in the Book of Mormon intertwine. This happens with a few other characters too. Overall, I would absolutely recommend these books!

Great story-- bizzare illustrations

OK- we LOVE this book- we love how it gives the scriptural account and then truly applies it to our children. It is great! BUT.... the illustrations are so over the top, and so out of control, it really DISTRACTS from the book :( The author is a caracacture artist, and so it seems weird to recommend that on the next book in the series, he use a different illustrator-- but that is what I am reccomending! I would much prefer to see illustrations that weren't so busy- so visually assaulting-- and illustations that reflected the beauty of the message in this book (and yes, I understand that this is supposed to be a "fun" book for kids-- but it was so busy for my children, and the eyes were drawn SO big on the people, that my kids kept thinking that all the people were either MAD or SCARED!). I am so glad that my children have a book that teaches them that ancient prophet's teachings truly do apply to them, and they can make choices in their lives that show that they follow the prophets! ...But I will still be hoping that the illustrations are calmer in the next volume!
