Title: Good idea, but leaves too much out
Review: As a fan of Lois Rock's Learning About...series, all of which have reviewed, I was disappointed by this offering from her. In an effort to be short, Lois has left out some details of some of the stories which in my opinion were important in the idea of the story. Many of the most popular stories are included, and while this was a good idea I feel this was not given as much effort as could have been given. I feel this could have been improved by possibly making it two books, one dealing with each section of the Bible, instead of shortening the stories so much as to leave it lacking in details. I also felt the writing was somewhat confusing for younger children that possibly had little knowledge of the Bible previously. Pictures were nice, but in some places the type over the pictures was hard to read because of the color beneath the type. I feel this is worth reading, but with additional discussion offered by the person reading the story.
Is the review positive or negative?
