The kids really loved this story, it was right at their level. It's enjoyable as a story, and also the allegory is clear enough that they could easily see what each part meant. It follows fairly well the real Pilgrim's Progress as written by John Newton, but takes everything down to a child's level: specifically about 6-8 years old is an ideal age. I remember loving it as a kid, and my kids enjoyed it as well.
We read the illustrated version with the animals. I couldn’t find that version on here. Both the story and the illustrations made for an incredibly impactful read leading to much conversation, encouragement and challenge. We will definitely re-read. Perfect for the first reading to be around age 5 with lots of conversation, but the impact is made on ALL ages. If you are in a season of grief or doubt I highly recommend reading this book.
Wonderful retelling of the original masterpiece for children. My 8 year old and I loved it and it opened doorways for us to have deeper conversations about faith.

First long read-aloud with the Dash & Rhys. Took several months. Beautiful illustrations and amazing adaptation of PP that they understood but had great vocabulary.
I haven't read the real Pilgrim's Progress, so I can't compare the two, but this was written in very easy to understand language. I thought it was very good and I loved the message.
This has been a fun children's story to read to the girls this summer. I think the author did well unto the original. I love allegory themes, they are so quick they pick up everything.
I absolutely love this book!! The text of this gorgeously illustrated children’s edition of Pilgrim’s Progress is the same that I grew up on, with a few tweaks to fit the anthropomorphised characters.
A great introduction to this solid Christian classic by John Bunyan, the Little Pilgrim’s Progress is written by Helen L. Taylor for young readers, without dumbing down the content in the slightest.
(My only pet peeve with the book is that Apollyon is “Self” in this version… still a great enemy for Christian to battle but it does change the story a bit)
The activity book that pairs with this book is SO fun, full of matching illustrations, drawing tutorials, mazes, and puzzles!
I can totally see using this book as a launching pad for a Pilgrim’s Progress study unit! I can’t wait to read this as a family.

We LOVED this! Full review coming later, but in short: we especially loved Part I but my 6 year old was fully engaged even through Part II. It's a new favorite!
