5.0 out of 5 stars A good old testament bible story book for Christian families, Sep 1 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children (Hardcover)

First off, there is nothing distinctively Jewish about this book
except 1) a six-pointed star on the cover and 2) a foreword by a Rabbi.
However, in looking for bible story books for my child, it is the
best collection of Old Testament bible stories that I have come
across. The stories stick close to the actual bible stories
with little interpretation or fictionalizing. And the photos showing the landscapes and archaological finds are nice. ...

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive repackaging of DK Illustrated Children's Bible, Feb 4 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children (Hardcover)

Recently, I went searching for a simple introduction to the Christian bible for my 6-year old. I first picked up the "Illustrated Jewish Bible" and thought it was perfect, except that it only consisted of Old Testament stories. I then found DK's "Illustrated Children's Bible". Out of curiosity, I went back and compared the "Jewish" bible to see what differences there were in presentation and content. I thought I might buy both books to compare and contrast Judaism with Christianity.

To my surprise, I found that the so-called Jewish bible was an exact duplicate - page for page - of the Old Testament portion! DK is a good publisher, but in this case, they clearly went for a quick product offering, not even bothering to reset the type from their Christian edition. Shame on them!

1.0 out of 5 stars More DK Deception on their web site, Aug 18 2001

This review is from: Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children (Hardcover)

I agree with the other reviews that DK Publishing does deception by putting the Rabbi's name of the cover. On their web page they even go as far as to say that the Rabbi is the author. For this reason, I would NEVER purchase any books by DK Publishing. This is a great book for a Cristian child, but do not buy for a Jewish child.
