My oldest son has been begging me to read this to him for a couple of years now. I held off because some of the illustrations are gruesome and the characters that attempt to distract and defeat Christian are very evil. We read it to him this past week. He kept asking me to read "one more chapter".
The writing is in vernacular so it will be difficult for young child to understand at times but it will build vocabulary (and opportunities to teach some reading strategies-context clues). The illustrations are incredible and sometimes fill the page. Skulls, a large eyeball and disgusting giants and creatures are depicted.
The message will remain in your mind and heart after reading this version of Pilgrim's Progress. It will be a book we reread many times over the years.
Highly recommend it.
