A good introduction to the ten commandments for young children. The illustrations make it entertaining while the discussion is simple yet meaningful. I recommend it to Jewish and Christian audiences alike.

This is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the ten commandments for kids and parents alike. We loved the intro to each commandment - as if we too were standing at the base of Mount Sinai. Then each story makes quite an impression without hitting you over the head with the moral of the story/the commandment. These stories are clever and rich. We are glad to have this as part of our home library and will return to read this book again and again.

I LOVE this book. As a Christian looking for the Hebrew context of Scripture, I really appreciate not just he teaching part, but also the object lesson stories. They prompt discussion and questions. I recommend to anyone wanting to teach their families to understand the intent of the 10 Words.
