Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 2-5-Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the third and fifth volumes in this series, are adaptations that make the weekly Torah portion, or parsha, more accessible to children. These are not simply traditional retellings; they include relevant relationships and laws revealed in Judaism's holiest book as well. This attention to the complexity and detail of the Torah means that these books are not always fascinating reading; nor do they supply a rabbinical commentary like that found in Joel L. Grishaver's Torah Toons (Torah Aura, 1985). Unfortunately, the Hebrew name accompanying each Torah portion and the Shema prayer in Deuteronomy are written in Hebrew only, with no English transliteration. Nevertheless, the books succeed in imparting the instructive importance of the weekly Torah reading. Attractive and abundant watercolor illustrations and an uncluttered layout make them even more accessible. Each volume also includes Midrashim (supplemental readings) as well as the "Book of Esther" in Leviticus and "The Book of Jonah" in Deuteronomy. For collections serving observant Jewish populations.-Teri Markson, Stephen S. Wise Temple Elementary School, Los Angeles
