Some weeks ago, my mom started teaching an early elementary school Bible class; she also found this book in my local library's online catalog, and asked me to request it. Today, she told me I could return it...but, since I'm trying to get ahead on my reading goal, I thought: Why not go ahead and read it myself?
Though I'm not the target audience, the book does a great job of bringing the Biblical parables--not just the one in the title--to life. If you're looking for a way to introduce a child to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, this would be a good one; the illustrations are wonderful. Though it may be a few decades old, that doesn't matter, as the messages of the Bible are timeless.
