Horn Book Review

Biblical tidbits from Old and New Testament stories are organized by categories including clothing, battles, and "Dastardly Deeds." Readers need a good deal of prior knowledge to make sense of the random details: e.g., "when he was still a child, David was in the army of King Saul." The page layout is distracting, often making the text confusing. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2015. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
