Bright characters overlaid on simple scenes invite children into the pages of this book. Clear maps show where the events took place, and a bright-colored timeline fixes the story in the Bible and history. The text is clear, written in an invitingly simple font. And the story is pleasingly told with simple words and easy continuity.The story of Ruth is a nice one for children. Care for elders, respect for tradition, kindness to strangers and trust in God all play their part as the pages turn. A pleasant and honest retelling of the Bible story, The Book of Ruth would be great to share at bedtime with a child or in Sunday school, or to give as a gift to a new reader.Disclosure: I was lucky enough to find this when it was offered free, and I love Bible stories.
