At the outset I must say that this is one of the most comprehensive children's books about the Bible and The Ten Commandments, I have seen. I also think that children 8-10 years of age, need a base understanding of religion, the Bible and The Ten Commandments to completely understand this book. It is very complete, and it is quite long. I would suggest reading this book in stages, and initiating a discussion after each major point.The author, Anat Umansky, is an author I have followed with other children's books, and I trust his writing skills. He more than lives up to this trust with this book. I would suggest that every religious class use this book as a basic book in their classes. We follow Moses and his work from one area to the next, and the unfolding of The Ten Commandments is a treasure to behold. The illustrator, Validimir Solop, has provided such beautifully wrought illustrations. They depict the journey of the Ten Commandments from the beginning. The coloring is magnificent. Parents/teachers will find an interesting path while reading this book to their children. This will open up many discussions of varied subjects. I enjoyed reading this book . Note: this book was provided to read and review.Recommended. prisrob 06-12-14
