For anyone not familiar with the Apocryphal Gospels, they were works that were ruled to be non-canon centuries ago.
THE INFANCY GOSPEL OF THOMAS – I like to refer to this enjoyable book as “The Young Jesus Christ Chronicles”. This banned gospel deals with the infancy and childhood years of Jesus in much greater detail than any of the other gospels, official or otherwise.
Much of the Infancy Gospel centers around a toddling Jesus getting used to his godly power and being reproached by his parents when he shows off by performing miracles like molding clay pigeons and then bringing them to life. He also uses his power to deal with bullies, mess with his teachers and do his chores.
This gospel should not be confused with The Coptic Gospel of Thomas, which consists of 114 (yes, Rosicrucian conspiracy folks, 114) sayings attributed to Jesus. Most are fairly unique, while others bear similarities to Jesus’ teachings in the canonical gospels.
There is also The Acts of Thomas, describing Thomas’ deeds as a Christian missionary in India after the Crucifixion. If you’re also into Manichean and Hindu beliefs this book of acts makes for some nice comparative studies.

Logged, thank you sir!
Very interesting post. Typically nothing is mentioned about Jesus’ childhood. I also find it strange that his earthly father, Joseph, isn’t noted during that time even though it is said he taught Jesus carpentry.
Thanks. I know what you mean about those omissions.
Wonderful post. I never heard about the Infancy Gospel of Thomas before but as always found your posts a pleasure to read.
Thanks! I appreciate you saying so!
Indeed! The Gospel of Thomas depicts Jesus as a wise teacher. Thank you for this excellent mention! 👍
Glad to do it! Thank you for the kind words!
You are most welcome.
