This is the first year we will be celebrating and as a Christian family, we have felt led to honor the Jewish feasts and festivals. So here we are, coming up on Purim and I needed something that the kids would sit still for but something that would also be accurate enough to stand in as the Megillah for the children.First of all, I'm glad I read it to myself before reading it out loud to my kids. The author has called Haman a bastard a couple times which stopped me in my tracks! I understand what a bastard is but I'd rather not use the word loosely around my children! So I penciled in an alternative word that I can use while reading it aloud to my family. (I wonder what the Hebrew Megillah refers to Haman as?) And there are quite a few typos that caught me off guard and I had to stop to reread it trying to figure out what was missing.As far as accuracy according to the Megillah, I don't have much experience with translating from Hebrew but this story book seems to paraphrase the book of Esther fairly well for children. I think I would recommend it along with the cautions that I have listed above =) ### ⭐ Inappropriate for children and for $14.00, it has quite a few mistakes. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 15 March 2019* There are several missing words and misspelled words. Also the word Bastard is used in the book two times. This doesn't seem appropriate for young children. Definitely not worth the money. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/404991942-the-story-of-purim-the-book-esther-a-biblical-story](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/404991942-the-story-of-purim-the-book-esther-a-biblical-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
