Amazon.co.uk Review
This is the story of the rescue of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt by Moses--one of the most popular stories from the Bible.In this brilliantly illustrated picture book, the distinguished artist Brian Wildsmith captures all the incidents of this powerful and exciting tale: Moses in the bullrushes, the burning bush, the plagues that afflict Egypt, the Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea, the journey through the desert, the Ten Commandments and, finally the arrival at the Promised Land.

Shortlisted for the 1998 Kurt Maschler award, this is a sumptuously illustrated edition which tells this powerful story through simple text and brightly coloured, detailed illustrations and makes it accessible to young readers. (Ages 4 to 8)

In a series of spectacular pictures Brian Wildsmith portrays the story of Moses: his encounter with God in the burning bush, the plagues that afflicted Egypt, the Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea, the handing down of the Ten Commandments, and the Israelites' long journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land.
