The Little Pilgrim's Big Journey Box Set from Lithos Kids
Being a dad of three kids that are five and under, I love children’s books. I especially love children’s books that teach my kids more about Jesus. Even more, I love children’s books that my kids stay engaged with and want to hear more of. Little Pilgrim’s Big Journey checks every box.
I first heard about this box set from a speaker at a conference. I wrote it down and knew I had to check it out. Our family has been reading a chapter a night and our kids always ask to read more. They want to know what’s going to happen next and I love it.
The Little Pilgrim’s Big Journey Box Set is beautiful and comes with two books. They’re bound with cloth over board and the first volume is blue while the second volume is green. They have ornate gold writing and designs on each book with a full color picture of each featured character on the covers. The blue book has blue and white head and tail bands with a blue double sided satin bookmark and the green book has green and yellow head and tail bands with a green double sided satin bookmark. These books are beautifully made!
As you might guess, these books are adaptations of John Bunyan’s famous Pilgrim’s Progress. Book One follows Christian while Book Two follows Christian’s family. The books contain introductions that talk about Bunyan so that kids can know better where he came from. My kids particularly latched onto the fact that he wrote Pilgrim’s Progress while in jail.
These books are well written and beautifully illustrated. Even more so, they help kids engage with the story and comprehend what they’ve just read. There’s a summary after each chapter as well as questions that help kids to understand the allegory of the book as well as apply what they’ve read.
I can tell that these are going to be books we read over and over again. My children ask to read another chapter every night. I tell them during the day that I can’t wait to find out what happens to Christian and I’m just as excited to keep reading it as they are. This is a set that your family will definitely want to pick up and you’ll have trouble putting down!
