Product Description
To most children the record of Christian's pilgrimage is attractive simply as a story of adventure. But now Helen L. Taylor has simplified the vocabulary and concepts for younger readers, while keeping the story line intact. The result is a classic for youth, a delightful book with a message they can understand.

A Book Worth Reading December 11, 2008
I most absolutely love, love, love this book and recommend this book for a parent to read to a child. This book shows how hard you must work for God, and that you have to trust and love him with your whole heart, and that has to be your mission and your soul's mission. There is one importance in your life, and that must be the Lord. I also think that a good lesson that the Lord has brought to our attention through John Bunyan is that the Lord will provide even when there are hard times. We also learn that He knows exactly what is happening and what the reasons are for it. He also knows that it is happening. And he also knows exactly how it is happening and is watching over everything.
Magnificent retelling - no loss of detail July 6, 2008
This is what I read as a child - over and over again as I grew up. It is a magnificent version of Bunyan's classic. In particular what I like is that Helen Taylor doesnt shorten the story as much as others do. She retains a lot of the detail and the encounters that Christian has along the way. This allows a child as they grow to learn many of the valuable lessons for the Christian life which Bunyan intended us to see.
There are many children's versions of this which are wonderfully inllustrated - this one isnt, although it has line drawings scattered throughout. But it more than makes up for it in its content. I've purchased another more lavishly illustrated version of Pilgrim's progress to show alongside this one, but actually haven't got round to doing that yet.
What Helen Taylor has also done is to retell the story from a child's perspective - it is Little Pilgrim's Progress. It is in essence the same story - just downsized slightly. This makes it all the more easy to read to children.
My four year old daughter pleads for me to read to her - not content to wait until next Sunday for the next installment. She wont let me stop and sits wide eyed as I read it to her.
Why would I want a shorter version when I get to spend longer reading to my child?

I was recommended this book by a mom of 6 homeschooled children who ALL loved it. My 5 year old cant wait to read the next few chapters every day, and I am enjoying it immensely as well. Even my 2 year old doesn't mind sitting and listening. This is a book we will read over and over!

Very Little Lost in Little Pilgrim's Progress August 6, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I teach grade 3 4 5 in my church and am very pleased with this newest version of one of the oldest best sellers. Very little if any meaning is lost in the transistion from an Adult epic to a children story book. I would highly recommend this book for all young readers and most adults will love it too!
