The illustrations in this series is always so bright and bold, and done with more accurate skin tones for Bible characters. Although I don’t typically prefer “cartoonish” characters for Bible stories, this series is so fun and my kids really enjoy them. The only negative thing for this book is that my kids thought Joseph was a girl at the end when he’s dressed in wealthy clothes. This book does a great job at telling the story of Daniel in terms that kids will understand. It also includes a fun way to learn about opposites throughout the story.
There’s a little rhyme repeated a few times throughout the book that says, “The Lord has a plan and he’s working it out. He speaks words we can trust, so there’s no need to doubt.” This is a fun reminder that kids can keep with them long after reading the story.

This is a truthful account of Joseph and what happened after his very strange dream!
At the beginning of the book, the reader is encouraged to look for opposites that occur in this book--there are many!
Just like the other books in the "Very Best Bible Stories" series, every page has colorful and captivating illustrations and is engaging for our ...littlest listeners.
Joseph's story is one of my personal favorites as it highlights God's purpose and redemption in even the most confusion of situations! I am so happy to recommend this wonderful retelling for children!

Something unique about this book is that they never mention the 'coat of many colors.' Most stories about Joseph really emphasize this, leading this to be the only thing many littles know about Joseph. However, it's really a small detail in the overarching narrative. Instead, they focus their attention on God's providence and how God is sovereign and control over every situation. Even when life is taking a dark turn, we can trust that God will bring peace and justice in God's time.
