The Seventh Day: A Shabbat Story

by Deborah Bodin Cohen

In this adaptation of the creation story, God creates desert canyons and riverbeds as a potter would, the leopard's spots and the zebra's stripes as a painter would, and the voices of laughter as a musician would.

[Shoshanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute story of the last day of creation

[Hadassah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Best suited for 4-7 year olds.

A cute read the could lead to teachable moments, would definitely need parental interjection on parts that present GOD as tired and an ordinary craftsman... instead of being just like a potter/artist/poet; He is The Potter, The Master Artist, and The Chief Songwriter- from Him all men have their being and heritage.

Story structure was simplistic and sweet (ish)
Illustrations were lovely.
