    We ordered these books for our son Obadiah, since his brother Noah has several books with his name in them. He loves the story, I had to read it no less than twenty times in the first week. I really enjoyed the fact that it is a christian based story and gives a little insight into life in the early days.
    The author does a wonderful job showing the interaction between Obadiah and his siblings in the book. The book has a lot of realistic elements to the story and was a rather enjoyable read. We bought it along with "Obadiah the Bold" and "Thy Friend Obadiah" all three were wonderful stories.

    This was a book I read to my children when they were young and now to my grandchildren. It is a sweet story and an interesting look at a slice of our early history.
