Sammy's Fabulous Holy Land Travels: Sammy Visits the Land of the Bible

This book has been a source of endless delight for our young children.In the style of the "Where's Waldo" series, Christian illustrator Daniel Hochstatter has pages of brightly coloured and entertaining pictures. Each page features various various characters or items that the children must find on the page. "Sammy the sheep" and his "shepherd" as well as their companions are hidden somewhere on each page. This title follows the "Adventures of Sammy" title. Unfortunately, it does not quite meet the same standard of the first title.My main concern with this book, is that the illustrations picture scenes from Bible narratives, eg Noah's ark, the dividing of the Red Sea. Hochstatter does this rather disrespectfully, confusing the modern with the ancient. See a jet powered boat with a water skier at the Red Sea is in my view a disrespectful anachronism. However, it must be conceded that with young children who don't realize that this is intending to picture a Bible story, this is not an issue. Nonetheless, the entertainment value of this book makes it most desireable. Recommended!
