Summary: about everyday life in Bible times; for early readers
Comment: This is a non-fiction type factual book about very basic everyday life in the Bible times. The book discusses the type of houses that were used, the yard, how they sit to eat, what type of food they ate, how they cleaned up, and how they didn't have electricity. Some other facts are how they went fishing, the types of boats they used, types of tools they had, how they harvested crops and what people did "for a living" back then. These are not stories out of the Bible.

The illustrations are cartoon-like and nothing special.

The writing is geared toward beginning readers. The compromise here is that the information is overly simplified and dumbed down.

Our children prefer to get much more detailed information from books with real photos such as the Eyewitness series of books which are supposedly for the 9-12 age range. I find using the Eyewitness books as a read-aloud with my children, beginning at age one is preferred by them and me. At the time they are one year old, I allow them to ask questions about the pictures and I read as much as I can before they turn the page. Also starting at one year old, both of my children loved to look over the Eyewitness books by themselves and study the pictures, and would ask me questions about what they were looking at. Eyewitness has books on prehistoric life, early man, Ancient Egypt, and others.

The only benefit to this book is that a beginning reader can read this to himself or herself. I wonder what is better: to read a book with more detailed content aloud or to have them read an overly simplified book to themselves? I am not sure what the correct answer is. Perhaps the best answer is to have a child read this book to themselves if they are truly interested in reading this type of content to themselves, and to supplement with the more detailed read-aloud books.
