The story takes place in “Benjamin’s house,” hence the name of the book. Mark 2: 1-12 is given as a reference for the story. Bright, colorful illustrations cover each two-page spread.
This version of the story isn’t much different from many others I’ve read. What makes this book different is the format; it’s a board book that measures just 3 X 1.9”.
Antony’s House is the same in style, size and layout. It is the story of the soldier whose servant is sick. The soldier, named Antony, finds Jesus

What I Like: These are very short books that will hold a child’s attention. And, they are small enough to make them highly portable so you can take them anywhere.
What I Dislike: However, having said that, they are so small I fear they would be very easy to lose.
Overall Rating: Good.
Age Appeal: I couldn’t find a suggested age group for these books. The board book format would suggest baby-preschool, but the number of words and the reading level makes them more suitable for ages 3-5.
