I did not find this book to be appropriate for young children. On every page, there is a hidden demonic image juxtaposed against some image of Christianity or Judaism. Almost every single page contains a religious image (ie. cross, ixoye fish, clergyman, cathedral, book of the Bible, Star of David, hymnal, etc.) juxtaposed against an image of darkness (ie. slithering snakes, serpents, demons, frogs, references to 666, etc.) In some cases, the demonic images are attacking the religious images in some way. It would've been easy for the illustrator to stick with normal, everyday themes. Instead, you see such things as dripping gunk being spilled all over the 10 commandments. I thought I was going to get a beautifully illustrated children's book. Instead, I got something that was dark and creepy. In addition to the weird anti-religious themes, there were other things that were downright inappropriate: -several swastikas (seriously -- in a children's book?!??) -images of drowning -switchblade knives lying all over -an animal being kidnapped at gunpoint by other animals with machine guns. Since when did images of violence and symbols of genocide become appropriate for young children? Gross.
