Retelling of Pilgrim’s Progress

I just finished a marathon reading out loud session to Sophia because she brought me Pilgrim’s Progress: As Retold by Gary D. Schmidt and Illustrated by Barry Moser.

We’ve had this book around for awhile but OH MY! It is INTENSE at times, so I haven’t tried to engage Soph with it too much. I’ve introduced it a little bit at a time, but let her set the pace for our progress through it.

Today she was ready and eager to read and read and so we did. If you’re interested in introducing your kids to Pilgrim’s Progress (and having even more opportunities / examples / illustrations to discuss normal life stuff too), I recommend it.

(Oh–and in the interest of full disclosure … unlike the shaving cream I mentioned the other day, if you do click through to the Amazon link I pasted above and buy from Amazon, I do get a tiny seller’s referral fee. It doesn’t cost YOU anything, but unlike Bath & Body Works, Amazon pays me when people buy things through my website.)
