(1) 4-6 Informed by the Midrash Rabbah, ancient commentaries by Jewish scholars, these retellings of familiar Old Testament stories provide uniquely satisfying answers to many of the questions that often mystify readers. Handsomely designed, the book contains simple, bold illustrations on almost every spread. With contents that are not strictly Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, the book will provide much room for discussion. Sources are listed.
