The story of Ruth is one of my favorite stories in the Bible.  I liked Ruth's loyalty to her MIL.  I also liked that it showed so much of everyday life in such a short story.This version has an illustration on every page.  Sometimes a map, sometimes an animated illustration and sometimes an animated illustration on a photograph.  Normally I would not like so many mixed mediums, but the authors/illustrators have been consistent in the style throughout so I came to like it, although sometimes the facial expressions were a bit strange and Ruth's and Boaz's bright white wedding clothes were a bit blinding. Overall though I enjoyed the style and the information in the illustrations.The writing was child friendly without being condescending.  What I truly liked was that the authors explained why certain things happened.  i.e. why harvesters were not allowed to go back to pick up what they missed and why the relative gave Boaz his sandal.So if you have been looking for a child friendly Bible Story.  This is the one to get.I HIGHLY recommend this story.ETA because I was apostrophe happy.
