One of a series of four child-friendly, small format books illustrated with attractive, busy pictures, this title features nine of the simplest parables told by Jesus. Stories include: Hidden treasure, The pearl of great price, The lost sheep, The lost coin, The lost son, The good Samaritan, and The two housebuilders. Young readers are asked one question per picture to encourage them to pick out facts from each story, either about the background to the Bible (for example, "What sort of treasure has been buried in the field?") or key pieces of information ("Can you point to the person who was the good neighbour in the story?").
