The 10 Commandments can seem so remote to a young child. This book of gently textured illustrations and clear, simple text is a wonderful find. It presents the ancient story behind the commandments and then brings the commandments to life within the context of a modern Jewish child's everyday experience.

My 13-year-old son, who has mild autism, just LOVES this book. With his difficulties in understanding the relatively abstract concepts involved in learning religion, it's been a little tough keeping him interested in learning this kind of material. This book, however, is very appealing to him, and he and I have read it together many, many times. This book is beautifully illustrated. The explanations of the commandments are in relatively simple language that he can easily understand, appreciate, and apply to his own life. A real winner!

It was well illustrated and worded as a gift for my young grandsons, ages 6 and 8.
