Ten Things I Must Know: Bible Stories, by Elizabeth Akinteye, is a book of 10 Bible stories based
on the 10 Commandments. The stories are preceded by an explanation of each
commandment.
Colorful
illustrations by Kate Solenova, that each make up a two-page spread, are
scattered throughout the book. Each
chapter includes a head-shot of a child, which alternates between a boy and a
girl.
What
I Like: Sometimes
it doesn't make a lot of sense to a child when you just give them a rule, like
"honor thy father and thy mother." What does that really mean? The
author does a good job of presenting the concepts of the commandments, with not
only an explanation, but also a story that illustrates the point further.
What
I Dislike: The
illustrations of the children, both on the cover and in the book, appear to be
computer-generated and are not very realistic.
Overall
Rating: Very
good.
Age
Appeal: Ages 7
and up.
