I have loved this story since i was a young boy, reading with my grandparents who gifted it to me. This is a very wholesome story for young readers just starting to read and learn who Jesus really was. I give it a GOOD CHRISTIAN/5

What a Beautiful Story
What would you do if Jesus came to visit?
This is a great story at a children's level?
What beautiful things a child would do during a visit!
As we share this story with our children we can ask ourselves the same question.
And the answer is . . .

The complexity yet innocence found within a children's book will always amaze me. This read was quick and easy, but utterly powerful at the same time. I love reading to my children, especially when it's something meaningful and worthwhile.

My kids and I love these books
These books are so wonderful and so easy for my children to understand. I find its easier to explain the way of Jesus to my children as well.

Cute little story
Cute little story for the Christan family. It's short enough to hold a little ones attention and very wholesome. Will read this often to my little one.

Loved it
Sweet story for small kids helps create conversation on how easy it is to talk to God about everything and anything.

This book left me with tears. I think we all are children to Jesus and all we can give is our 'Hearts' to Him.

From the very first page, the sweet words of this rhyming book touched my heart.....
If Jesus came to visit me,
I know just what I'd do.
I'd wrap my arms around him tight
And say, "I'm glad it's you!"
How often have we as adults wished we could just wrap our arms around Jesus and have Him enclose us in His ever loving arms? Well, what do you think about a child? They naturally reach up and love. And then we turn the page and see the child asks, "May I serve you, please?"
And then the rhymes take the child/children through their day with Jesus asking Him questions and sharing their day and play with Him. Oh what a lesson for we adults.... we need to ask Him and we need to take Him with us throughout our day.
And then Jesus and child walk hand in hand back home and Jesus answers (or so the child asserts) all his questions so I will understand. Well, God has answered all our questions in His Word and if we dwell in His word we'll understand.
Lastly, the child wants to give Jesus something - maybe his favorite toy. But then he decides the best thing to give Jesus is his heart. Oh what a wonderful lesson and it is told so that the small child will understand and is presented in a beautifully designed and illustrated little board book for the young child to keep close to himself. I think you know already, but I'll say it anyway, I recommend this book for you and the young child in your life.

I like the idea behind this book, however Jesus doesn't appear on many of the pages when the little child is reference an activity that they are doing together. This often gives the impression that Jesus is his imaginary friend instead of his God. Jesus does appear in some sequences, but it was too little too late. It felt more like a fantasy novel in which you find out your imaginary friend is actually real. Kind of creepy.
