ReviewsThis is part of a combined review for Max Builds a Time Machine. Easy-to-read language and colorful illustrations makethese two time-travel adventure tales based on stories in the Torah excellentintroductions to biblical characters. Protagonists Max and Emma usea home-made time machine to travel to ancient times, where they participatein events they have only learned about in Hebrew school. In the first book, Max has little patience for his classmateEmma. When Max finds himself in Abraham and Sarah's tent along with three mysteriousstrangers, he learns an important lesson about hospitality and about theproper way to greet and interact with strangers. When Max returns, he iskinder and more accepting of Emma, and the two start to become friends.A "Note for Families" is appended, summarizing and extending someof the lessons Max has learned during his time travel experience. In the second story, Max and his family are preparingfor the Passover seder, and Max develops a case of stage fright while contemplatingsinging the Four Questions. This time, his new friend, Emma, and her poodle,Kelev, accompany Max on his time machine adventure. They arrive at the RedSea shortly before the Israelites are ready to plunge into the water in orderto escape the Egyptians, who are chasing them and who hope to reinstate themas slaves. They meet Nachshon, the first of the Israelites to brave the seabefore it splits, allowing them to pass in safety. Max learns some importantlessons about bravery and that throughout history, public speaking hasbeen a daunting task for many, including Moses. Another "Note toFamilies" appended to the second story encourages children to face andovercome their fears. Both books are fun to read and help children and their familiesthink about biblical stories in a new light, drawing attention to connectionsin their own lives, which will help them become kinder and more confident asthey mature. Schools and parents will welcome this series as part ofa larger conversation about Jewish and general values that affectchildren's daily lives. --Michal Malen, The Jewish Book Council
