4.0 out of 5 stars Young minds grow in this Garden!, May 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Child's Garden of Torah: A Read-Aloud Bedtime Bible (Paperback)
What a great book for young children! My 4 year old really enjoys the stories. They are written in a "biblical" tone with simple language. The stories inspire my child to think and ask questions. On the negative side, I wish the illustrations were in color. The stories are not very visually appealing for small children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate but bland, June 27, 2004
By 
zelnoandfrye (Zebulon, NC, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Child's Garden of Torah: A Read-Aloud Bedtime Bible (Paperback)
As children's books rely on both word and image, this book falls short in captivating a child's interest visually. While the text is written in an appropriate format, the presentation is, in a word, bland. The cover does not represent the illustration content of the book. While the cover is in color and mildy interesting, the remainder of the illustrations are pen and ink drawings that weaken its presentation, especially when sharing with younger children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - depth in simplicity, October 2, 2002
This review is from: A Child's Garden of Torah: A Read-Aloud Bedtime Bible (Paperback)
I love reading this book to my kids at night. The narrations are accessibly simple - very few sentences are more than one line long - and yet retain the depth and layered meaning of the original stories. The questions are thought-provoking for adults as well as children. I wish the author would write volumes II, III, etc.
