Learning As We Go

Pilgrim's Progress

Posted in Book Reviews

My friend sent us a beautiful new edition (adaptation) of Pilgrim's Progress, retold by Gary Schmidt.  After only a few pages, it became one of those books that have the children begging to read just one more chapter, Mommy!  We read it in less than a week-- not that it was long, but it was full.  The children quickly grasped the "hard but right way" idea.  I recommend it unequivocally.

Thanks for the recommendation, Annie.

I've added it to my wish-list!
