Title: Beautiful art work, story a little slow
Review: This is a nice account of the life of the Prophet, but the story telling drags a bit. As always Demi's artwork is beautiful. Were I to grade the story telling alone, I would probably give it 3.5 stars. Then I would give the presentation (artwork, printing, etc. 5 stars). The story is definitely not for children any younger than seven. My six year old is an advanced and avid reader, but she becomes bored with this story rather quickly. This is telling given that she can sit down with something like "Charlotte's Webb" for more than an hour. Nonetheless, for the time being this is the best biography of the Prophet in English for young readers. Hopefully there will be something to surpass this for both a younger audience (4 to 8) and an young adult audience. It is amazing that there are not many quality children's books about the person considered by some to have been the most influential individual in history.
