Enhanced for a youngster's pleasure with the art work of Sally Springer, Susan Topek's A Costume For Noah is a superb addition to home, daycare center, school, and community library preschool collections.

I bought this book after a quick glance because it looked like a good way to introduce my preschooler to the 10 Commandments. As a separated parent, I was therefore horrified to discover (in the midst of reading it to my son, of course) that "Do not commit adultery" was translated to "Husbands and wives should love each other" (not an exact quote)!

This book was telling my son that his father and I were breaking one of the 10 Commandments! Further, that is not at all a correct translation. I realize that this is a difficult commandment to explain to kids, but certainly the authors could have found a better alternative.

Very simple language for small children to follow. My children seemed to really be able to understand it well.

I am always looking for judaic books that are child-friendly. This book helped my children understand the ten commandments. We love it!
