Blackwell North Amer
Beginning with Abraham and Sarah, artist Stan Mack takes us on a rewarding pictorial journey across 4,000 years of Jewish history, through its ups and downs. From the biblical era to the twentieth century, we witness Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, the world's first "oy," the creation of the Talmud, the Crusades, the Holocaust, the birth of the Israeli state, the evolution of the stand-up comic, and much more. In addition, we meet the men and women who have shaped the Jewish experience, including Maimonides, Theodor Herzl, Irving Berlin, and Golda Meir.

This is an unexpected delight and more informative than it has a right to be. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but put good comic illustrations together with the right words and it's a gift for all levels of knowledge or ignorance. Easy, entertaining and appropriate for anyone over the age of 7.
