Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul is about Emma and Bella, young kids in a Christian family whose parents read the bible to them every night. They do this so that their children may know God and love him. Emma begins to have vivid dreams and describes them as best as a child can articulate. Her parents take her seriously and use her vivid dreams as a teaching moment to reinforce the scriptures of the bible. The story illustrates her experience with sister Bella as they visit both heaven and hell with Jesus.

This short story has clear and colorful illustrations with simple terms and concepts that are fitting for children. The authors did a great job of conveying their message in a very digestible way. I also commend them for adding the footnotes of relevant scripture for the bible. This is definitely a heartwarming and inspiring story for religious families. I admire the moral teachings that illustrate to children the importance of right and wrong.

There are no critiques that come to mind about this short story. It was concise and clearly conveyed the intended message for the target audience. I would certainly recommend this book to be a part of the Christian teaching curriculum for kids. The illustrations perfectly relayed what the text was describing making it a good learning tool for children that are not able to read yet.

With that being said I rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars on account of no errors, good editing and superb illustration. Seeing children passionate and enthusiastic about their beliefs is absolutely inspiring and touching.

I would recommend maybe a softer approach for the introduction of hell. For young children, this may have the effect of a scary story before bed. The description of hell could have been less graphic.
