The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
I remember when I taught 5th grade and read this book aloud to my class. There was a girl whose mom would not let her listen because she did not approve of witches. In fact, this story is an allegory showing how Jesus sacrificed himself for sinners. The fantastic thing about this book is that the story is so well done that it can stand alone.
This imaginative story has so many fine elements to enjoy and to use to instruct and discuss. There are the London evacuations of World War II, sibling and heart issues, forgiveness, adventure, magic, battles, and talking animals. Underlying it all is the “parallel” story of man’s sinfulness and how that debt was paid.
