I read Look Inside: The Time of Jesus: in exchange for honest review from Kregel Blog Tours.

I wanted to read the book because I thought it was cool, plus I can teach my kids about God. I also loved the interactiveness. The kids can open up the flaps to reveal hidden people. Of course, once Kalen figured out he can open the panels, a few was ripped off (RIP panels lol).

The book starts with the birth of Jesus and ends with the crucifixion, which was done beautifully

The book also shows what the people, workers, and animals in the cities on a daily basis. The rabbi preaching the word; the boys in the schoolhouse, learning scripture; the sheep in the pasture. Maybe you want to learn about the names of tools used in the carpentry studio. ( )

What a great book to add to your children’s collection, and their spiritual education. The book is well illustrated and has very bright colors. Added to each page along with the story are little flip ups, a surprise with each of the individual pictures.
The story begins with the Stable in Bethlehem, at home in Nazareth, and as you read to your child they can open the flap at “who is in the carpenter’s workshop”? As we follow further into Jesus’s life we are by the shore of Lake Galilee, open one of the doors; Fishermen sell their catch, “splish splash”. Then we have a rich man’s feast, and we can “open the shutters”.
Traveling further along in the book are A Roman Trial, and A Garden Tomb. The book is made out of very sturdy cardboard, and you can spend a long and great time together getting to learn about the life of Jesus, and shows the world that Jesus knew.
Found this to be an adorable activity to spend with my child, along with being educational.

I received this book through Kregel Publications and was not required to give a positive review. ( )

This is a large, sturdy board book and each spread of pages has several "lift-the-flaps" designed in a variety of sizes that offer engaging educational opportunities for the child. Even though it is a "board book," it will be valuable and enjoyable for young readers as well as non-readers. Parents can use this as an invaluable teaching tool. But most of all, it is a very pleasant and lovely book for the child. The child is the important key word here. Engage the child. Educate the child. Help the child to learn of Jesus. This book will successfully do just that.

Look Inside the Time of Jesus is spot-on accurate (not an archeological "dig" type of book, though) to Bible times and Bible events. Each picture is replete with details that the child can engage in seek 'n find activities as well as the lift-the-flaps. I like that the flaps each are designed so that little fingers can lift them without difficulty.

I heartily endorse this book produced by Lion Hudson and distributed by Kregel. Hint: This would make a terrific Christmas gift for a child.
