Unwrapping this book was great: lovely front cover. The back cover is, I think, not so good. Too much explanation and recommendation, not in language for a child.
Jonathan Edwards is a great subject for such a book. I could not quite get into it, though – almost as if it had some of the life sucked out of it. Some of the illustrations were a bit odd. Why would a child be interested in a picture of Isaac Newton, or Voltaire.
