Joan of Arc is fascinating! Sadly this story kind of makes her seem rather dull and the illustrations are even less exciting. They are done in a kind of faux Medieval style which is nice, but I think they're not a great fit for the material or the intended audience.
2.5 starsI did not really care much for the artwork in this simple outline of the St. Joan of Arc story for kids 5/6 +.
