Review: Appealing to the children

This book would have received 5 stars from me had it not been for the grammatical errors. Sadly the author had a problem in mixing up her tenses at times. It is not on every page & as this is on my Kindle and I read it aloud to the children I can easily change the tense to be correct. Here is an example:"The window faced Jerusalem, and Daniel knelt right in front of the window and prayed to God as he has always done since they were taken to Babylon about seventy years ago." See the error? Should be 'had' not 'has.'I have to say though that this book has some great pluses. The illustrations are really appealing and the story starts with King Belshazzar and the writing on the wall. I don't think I have ever seen the story of Daniel, apart from in the Bible, told with this beginning. It was a great idea by the author and gives some extra background as to why Darius became king.SO this is a keeper in our house and when our children pick up on the grammatical errors we will just use it for a grammar lesson.
