Surprisingly Impressive

"While I already expected that this would be a worthwhile purchase for my little brother's birthday, I was surprised at just how comprehensive it was for a comic book written on a Venerable of the Church. Frankly, I had never learned of Father Nelson Baker before coming across this comic on the Catholic Company's website and, once I read it (after my brother opened it), I found myself drawn into the story of Venerable Father Baker. Not only is the story itself well done (considering the format), a more detailed informative piece is included after the end of the story to verify and expound upon the knowledge contained within. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. While it is written for children, and should not be used as the one and only authoritative biography on Venerable Father Nelson Baker, it is not a dumbed down product which treats children in condescending fashion."
