Fantastic pictures and fine stories, but the stories were strangely repetitive - the same story was told many times with a little more information each time. This is useful (I suppose) for children to remember the stories but boring for an adult to read to a child and boring for an older child who does not need that much repetition. I wish the book included the end of Muhammad's life in addition to the beginning and middle.

The last story was scary. Muhammad’s daughter asks her father for a servant to help her with her house work because her hands are bleeding from being overworked. Her father, who has fifteen servants, lectures her about how more prayer would serve her more than help and he does not give her a servant. The message came across loud and clear that women should be obedient and work themselves to death and no one should have any empathy for them. And men, well, they should have servants.

میلاد عزیز پیامبر مهربانی‌هاست و من سرگردان، هیچ کتابی برای گذران یک ساعت شیرین و پر معرفت برای بچه‌های کلاسم پیدا نکرده‌ام. تصویرهایی که از کتاب‌های آقای ثانی إثنین خان توی نت می‌بینم دلم را از جا می‌برد. به چندتایی ترجمه از کتاب‌های ایشان رسیدم که توی بازار پیداشان نکردم. هل من ناصر ینصرنی؟
