This 92-page book was chosen for the book club this month at my church. That is the only reason I bought it and finished reading it.

I have to say that the first 10 pages or so were pretty good. The description of the shepherd whose sheep had been stolen and killed for profit pulled at me. I liked the character. I liked him all the way through the story.

The problem was that the writing turned terrible after that. It was devoid of good description or personal interaction that seemed at all real.

Within the story there was a rather clever use of characters such as Barabbas and his role in the story as well as the inclusion of the mother of Joseph, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus. That did not make up for the bad story telling, poor use of language, awkward sentences, empty dialog, or the unsatisfying explanation of God and what the meaning of life is. I do not really expect a satisfying explanation of this, but I don't like a poor one either. I'd rather have a good story from which I can draw a conclusion or at least have the author's conclusions be a bit more subtle. I'm glad the book was short!

My First Encyclopedia will encourage curiosity while educating children about various subjects. This book is best for older readers: 2nd grade and up. The book is filled with puzzles, photos, and facts.

This word book is organized into categories, most of which have a central picture and theme to give context and then smaller pictures labeled on the borders. The last few categories just have individually labeled pictures. It also includes a word list at the back arraged alphabetically with page numbers to reference the words.
