Reviews for One Lost Sheep

[ladyd_books · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This beautiful picture book retells Jesus' parable of the lost sheep found in Luke 15:3-4. It has wonderful, warm pastel artwork and delightful rhyme text. Hearts of young children for ages 4-8 will understand the simple message of a loving shepherd realizing that one of his sheep is missing and leaves the 99 sheep to look for it. This is a fun and engaging book with adorable sheep, attractive shepherd robes and peaceful pasture settings. I especially like that the heart felt theme of the story comforts and reassures little ones that they are loved by Jesus, the true and faithful shepherd.
