A First Book of Jewish Bible Stories

The stories in this book are eloquently told. I agree with the reviewer who thought that some of the content to have a slightly christian slant on these biblical stories; but not to an extent that I (as a Jewish parent) found problematic. The stories are fairly long and detailed, and are unlikely to hold the attention of a child younger than 7.

As a monotheist but neither Jewish nor Muslim, it has been almost impossible for me to find Bible/Religious stories to read to my 6 year old daughter. 99% of the books are Christian based, and their interpration of their "Old Testament" is either foreign to non-Christians or they see everything as proof of the existance of their christ-god. Jewish books typically focus on Jewish Holidays and their Bible books aren't really made for young children. And I have been unable to find any Islamic books that cover these classic Bible stories. So I was thrilled when I took a chance on this book. Great pictures, age appropriate words and the stories were wonderfully told. My only disappointment is that there are only 6 or 7 stories - and I can find no other more in the series! Don't be misled by the title. This is not just for Jewish children. This is HIGHLY recommended for anyone of any faith who wants to teach their children some of the classic stories from Hebrew Scripture.
