5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best of the Retellings of Megillat Esther for Children,
By Marcia Ellis (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen Esther Saves Her People (Hardcover)
We have had this book for a number of years and each of my three children has loved it. The pictures are beautiful and include details that can be used to interest children in the stories (such as animals that always appear on the same page with the characters with which they are associated). The story is quite close to the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Purim Story,
By Sam (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen Esther Saves Her People (Hardcover)
This is the best telling of the Puirim story that I have come across for children. The narrative is very close to the original, but what makes the book wonderful are the illustrations which are fantastic. They are so vivid that my children (aged 4 and 6) love the book and ask for it again and again, even when Purim is nowhere in sight. The pictures also conjure up images of a time long ago which helps to give the children a sense of a far away time. I have used the book in a service for children for 4 -8 year olds at an Orthodox synagogue and even those who generally protest at being there are spellbound. Highly recommended.
