For those boys enjoying the Football World Cup which is on at the moment, this story will be just up their street. 
Zack loves football. In this story he learns about how giving your all is what pleases Jesus, not necessarily how much money you can give. I liked how this story showed that.
I really appreciated how the illustrations showed ethnic diversity, so Zack’s class mates weren’t all white (including Zack’s best friend Paul), making this story is inclusive for all children.
As I have mentioned in the other Zack Black reviews, it would have been nice at the end of the story to have the Bible verse printed telling children where they could find the account of the Widow’s gift in the Bible. Or to have the parable printed in the back of the book, just so that children could see what Jesus says about giving and link it to everyday life with this story about Zack Black. However, that is something that you can do as an extra with your child if you want to extend their learning.
Definitely a good addition to the series, and I’m looking forward to sharing this book with my nephews.
