Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Parables for Kids
Danae Dobson · 1999
74/100
👍 Worth It
The modernized parables are genuinely clever — turning the Good Samaritan into a wood-carver's story keeps the moral intact while making it feel fresh to young ears. The dual-layer structure of story plus brief theological note works well for parent-led reading aloud, though the Dobson co-branding is something families will want to be aware of going in. Within its intended Christian household audience this is a solid, well-illustrated resource.
