This picture-book overview looks at the history of Jerusalem over three thousand years, focusing mainly on the period from Moses' time through Muslim rule and concentrating on Jewish experience. The soft paintings, on cream-colored, textured paper, give an air of formality to the straightforward text. Waldman includes a time line, but a list of additional references would have made the book more useful.
