1.0 out of 5 stars Too Ethnocentric, January 28, 2006
This review is from: The Story of Noah and the Ark (Hardcover)
The book opens by explaining how God became upset, and eventually flooded the earth, because "other" peoples--but not our people--were murdering and fighting wars.

The suggestion that wars and bloodshed are only things other "bad' peoples do--rather than a flaw shared by all peoples--misreads Genesis and goes against the golden rule of children's books which is to emphasize our common humanity.

It is hard to think of a more inappropriate message to give to a child.
