- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015We 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.
