Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids is about a young girl named Emma who, being educated by her parents about God and Jesus, begins to have dreams of visiting heaven and hell. Her parents listen to these dreams, help explain them, and support these explanations with Bible verses.

I thought this book was well-written and suitable for young children. I especially liked the parts when Emma explained the dreams; her parents reinforced what she said as being correct, looked up Bible verses to support what they said, and read them to her. There were many beautiful illustrations, and footnotes to indicate where the verses could be located in the Bible. Although this book was written for children, I found it to be entertaining for adults as well. For example, the story was very detailed about what Heaven looks like, who could be met there, and believable as being described from a young girl's perspective. While reading about Emma's encounters, I was able to imagine how my own visit might be. The length of the book is reasonable enough to flesh out the story but not too long that it would lose a child's attention.

I rate Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids a 5 out of 5, for how detailed the descriptions were, and because there were no grammatical errors. I also think it is very important to teach our children about faith as early as they can grasp it. I caution that in a portion of the story where Emma also visits hell and is scared by it, although that allows her to understand the importance of saving others from hell, it may be too much for a very young child to hear and understand. I did not rate down for this because I felt it was an important part of the character's learning process of how heaven and hell both work and how we should help others to understand.
