A perfectly cute retelling of the biblical parable of the lost sheep. I picked this up to help me retell this story to the 4-year-olds I teach at church.

This was a pleasant little read! It had super cute pictures with an accurate Biblical retelling of the Lost Sheep Parable by Jesus!
The way the author retold this parable for a child was great! I love the rhymes, the counting, and noises that were excellently weaved throughout this short little book! I also liked how at the end how Rhonda includes how God is our shepherd to make the story personal to young ones lives!
The illustrations were good! I don't think my son liked them as much since he didn't seem very enthusiastic about the pictures (well except the dog)! I think he was most excited about the dog and looked for him on every page! I also liked how the illustrator gave the lost sheep expressions of happiness and sadness!
Overall, this is a great story to use to teach children between the ages of 4-8 of the lost sheep parable! The rhymes are catchy and engaging as well as the pictures help bring the story to life!
I give One Lost Sheep a 4 out of 5 stars!

This beautiful picture book retells Jesus' parable of the lost sheep found in Luke 15:3-4. It has wonderful, warm pastel artwork and delightful rhyme text. Hearts of young children for ages 4-8 will understand the simple message of a loving shepherd realizing that one of his sheep is missing and leaves the 99 sheep to look for it. This is a fun and engaging book with adorable sheep, attractive shepherd robes and peaceful pasture settings. I especially like that the heart felt theme of the story comforts and reassures little ones that they are loved by Jesus, the true and faithful shepherd.

I retelling of Luke 15:3-4 in rhythm for kids. I like the illustrations a lot. A good choice for story time or bed time.
