Moses' Ark

by Alice Bach, J. Cheryl Exum, Leo Dillon (Illustrations)

A book for families to share, Moses' Ark is an engaging collection of thirteen stories—some well known, some lesser known—based on the new translations from the Hebrew and written especially for young people. The retellings and explantory notes that follow each story capture the wit and humor of the original language and show daily life in vivid detail. This collection includes tales of Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and how Miriam saved her baby brother, Moses. Readers also will discover Jotham's Fable and Saul's meeting with the medium at Endor, among others, paired with stunning full-page illustrations by two-time Caldecott-winning artists, Leo and Diane Dillon.

I enjoyed reading these stories aloud to my children during bedtime. Very beautiful artwork inside as well.

I love this book! 13 stories (for the 12 tribes of Israel plus Dinah) of better or lesser known Bible heroes, with scholarly notes at the end of each chapter and beautiful pictures by Leo and Diane Dillon. A children's book that takes children seriously.
