Queen Esther Saves Her People

40 pp. | Scholastic | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-590-47025-6
(3) K-3 This energetic retelling of the Purim story is framed with flat, detailed illustrations that set a "once upon a time" mood. The characterization of King Ahasuerus as a vain, foolish, bad-tempered, but well-meaning man could provoke some discussion. The author's note at the back provides information about the story of Esther and the celebration of Purim.
