The story involves three siblings named Hannah, Caleb, and Noah. It is told from the perspective of Caleb, but that doesn't necessarily make it a story just for boys. One day the three siblings are transported back in time to 30 years after Jesus' birth. The children spend a lot of time with a shepherd boy named Benjamin and his family. They also come to a better understanding of Jesus through a story told to them by Benjamin's grandfather, Eldad. I won't spoil the story for you, but you and your kids will absolutely love it.At approximately 70 pages, this book is a quick read. The font is a nice size for children and each chapter is five to six pages long, so your child will have easy stopping points if they want to take a break from the book. More than likely, you'll have to pry the book from them as the story is just that captivating. There's about one illustration every two chapters, meaning your six year old will still be engaged while reading it to them, but your nine year old won't think this is a book for babies.I particularly love the feature at the end titled, "Where is that in the Bible?" In this section, your child reads the Scripture passage that serves as the basis for this book. This ties a neat little bow on the package and helps catechize and reinforce what they just read. At $5.95, this 5 star book is a steal, and I can't wait to read the rest of the Gospel Time Trekkers series.
This is the first book in the Gospel Time Trekkers series by Maria Grace Dateno, FSP. In this book 3 kids go bike riding and are magically transported back to the time of the birth of Jesus. The next time we look at a Nativity Scene, we will think about what life was like in that time. This book tells what the life of the shepherds was like, and how they really did lay down their lives for their sheep. This will be a great book to read to little kids at Christmas and young readers will enjoy reading it themselves.We bought this for our parish library and will be purchasing the entire series when it is available.
Shepherds to the Rescue exceeded my expectations and fulfilled my HOPES! I read it with my 7 yr old grandson, and the combination of mystery, action and level of "personal" experiences of the characters with the Holy Family and the angels piqued and held his interest. The story gave him a unique, up-close-and-personal encounter with the story of the birth of Christ.
I am a Catholic school librarian and my students LOVE borrowing Sr Maria Grace's Time Trekker books. Several students asked their parents to buy them the entire set for home! I love the books because they filled a void in my library-beautiful chapter books for our younger students with a quality message.
