My First Book About Jesus, 1959, By Mary Alice Jones

My First Book About Jesus, 1959, By Mary Alice Jones, and illustrated by
Robert Hatch, A Rand McNally Book -Elf Giant ... A thoughtful
selection of incidents from the period of Jesus' ministry, including- in
very simple story form- some of the miracles and parables- this spans
the time from the carpenter shop to the procession into Jerusalem.
Careful omission of anything that might disturb small listeners makes
this a good introductory picture story book. The big doublespreads in
soft colors by Robert Hatch can be rated plus on the background
settings- but minus on the face and figure of Jesus, and the
conventionalized human figures. Jesus in Jerusalem, Jesus Miracles,
