Well the thing is. When I was about 5,6 years old. My brother had this book. I read it so many times it fell apart And you know older brothers. He got mad at me. Now im not talking I read it 6,7 times im talking 50,60 Maybe 70 times... It is a good book especially for kids. if you are thinking about getting it, Get it you wont regret it. Highly recomended!!! More so for 12 and under A little to young for teens get a older version for them.. It is still just as good but well you decide.

For those of you Christians out there, you know that walking with the Lord is no simple task...
Well the Pilgrim's Progress is something you can definetly relate to. Although this is the pictorial version, don't be fooled because I don't know if children can really understand what's going on in the story because it speaks with metaphors and parables so similar to real life and the warnings the bible talk about, it's more of a story adults can appreciate even more.
But this is what makes the Pilgrim's Progress SO good to read, because it talks about the REAL Christian life. Something only REAL Christians can understand. I'm not talking about Sunday Christians or Closet Christians. This book depicts our goal to eventually reach God amongst the struggles with the world.

I received my book without any problems. Reading Pilgrim's Progress(Pictorial)is a good way to start your child out with learning this story. I have purchased several Pilgrims Progress books, because
they are different. Some are easy to read versions and then I progress to the more original book (story). By the time we get to the last book, we really have a better since of the story and the author's intent.

I am very happy with Pictorial Pilgrim's Progress. It captured the highlights of Bunyan's dream, which was exactly what I was looking for. In class at school, we are reading Little Pilgrim's Progress and the pictures are great for making a small booklet for the class to take home after. I would recommend it highly!

A great way to get children to read a classic story. Pictures on every page, so you or older children can read it aloud to younger children and still keep their attention even when the topic slows a bit. Very appropriate for about 4th grade reading level.

I purchased this book about 26 years ago when my son was little. I read it to him every night. He remembers it among all the other books I read to him, in spite of the fact that the pictures were in black and white and the language was not "modern" and simplified.

The original Pilgrim's Progress is not/was not a fluffy, feel good message for the general public. It was written to encourage Christians in their walk with the Lord, through trying circumstances, subtle temptations, and powerful enemies. This edition, although formatted for children, in my humble opinion, faithfully replicates Bunyan's allegory and helps children to understand its message, underscored by its illustrations.

Children are capable of understanding complex, perhaps discomfiting thoughts. This book is stimulating and I am so thankful to rediscover it...and to read it again to my grandchildren.

Arrived fast, new, BUT The pictures in the book are WAY too big, there is very little writing, maybe 1-2 lines on some pages, hardly any writing at all
