Snatched up to Heaven for Kids, is about Emma, an 8-year-old girl, who has a dream about Heaven. In her dream, she sees wonderful things. When she tells her parents about her dream, they read to her from the Bible and tell her where those things come from the Bible. Emma continued to have more dreams. Each time her parents would read to her from the Bible. One night, Emma has a dream about Hell. She told her parents how scary it was. Again, they read from the Bible. They explain that since Heaven is real, so is Hell. They explain how to go to Heaven instead of Hell.

There are so many positive things I can say about this book. I think the characters are relatable. It speaks about love and obedience. It shows parents how to communicate better about this sometimes tough conversation with children. I like that it cited where in the Bible each reference came from. It is written in a child's voice, explaining that something like flying, which may be scary, was not scary. The portion about what Emma saw in her dream about Hell was kept simple and understandable for children instead of overwhelming it with the awful things in the Bible. I think it's a great book to start teaching a child about God.

I can not say that I found anything negative about the book. The book was professionally edited. The pictures are a little plain, but this book, is meant for children. I would not want to see it in great detail. Snatched up to Heaven for Kids, is not a book for someone who does not believe in God or some other higher power. It is Christianity based.

For Snatched up to Heaven for Kids, written by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. I found zero errors. It is a kids' book that is simple yet in-depth. The characters are what I would expect them to be. The explanation of Heaven and Hell is not overwhelmed with detail. The illustrations are creative and eye-catching for children.

The audience meant for this book is children. Specifically, children from a Christian family. I would say age appropriate for everyone. But mostly meant for 10 years old and younger. It is also meant as a way for parents to talk to their children about God, Jesus, Heaven, and Hell in an easier and understandable way.
