Studying the ancient Hebrews turned out to be more of a study of popular stories from the Old Testament. Although I was hoping for Tessa to learn more about the daily life of the ancient Hebrews, we still enjoyed these adaptations. Tessa particularly liked the detailed pictures, as the artwork in the children's Bibles we read from tend to be a little cliché.
