Summary

Award-winning author-illustrator Chaya M. Burstein combines her talents as storyteller and artist to bring alive the Bible to young readers. Opening with The Five Books of Moses, her colorful and imaginative drawings vividly tell the story of the earth's creation, Moses' triumphs over Pharaoh's magicians, the building of the first Temple, the long journey through the desert, and God's blessing of Joshua before the deliverance to the Promised Land.

Burstein continues with artful depictions of the works of the Prophets and the Writings, including the popular stories of Ruth, Esther, and Daniel. Children and adults will appreciate her Bible people-finder, an index locating dozens of personalities within the text.

Unmatched for its engaging art and easily understood rendering of the biblical narrative, The Kids' Cartoon Bible can be read aloud to pre-schoolers and enjoyed by young readers as well. A lovely gift book, it is also an attractive addition to home and school libraries.
