This is a good little book. "The Jesus Book" by Stephen Elkins is a compact book of 96 pages with a sturdy cover and good illustrations. It comes with a CD of songs.
It says on the cover that it is "the ultimate who, what, when, where and why book." It does manage to answer practically any question a young child may have about the life and basic teachings of Jesus. Each subject is concisely covered in about one page with illustrations and biblical references.
I would say that it could easily be read by a young reader without any difficulty although older children would be better able to understand the text as written. The content of the book is well set out, helped along by the colorful illustrations.
The songs on the CD would probably be enjoyed more by younger children.
Overall, this is an enjoyable look at Jesus.
