I never realized it either. Note that there is a difference between DK’s The Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children and DK’s The Children’s Illustrated Jewish Bible (with CD). The Illustrated Jewish Bible for Children is the one for Christians which talks about the Old and New Testament. The other title actually explains why Jews do not call it the Old Testament and is clearly written for Jews.
Thanks for sharing this as I will now remove the first one from our collection. Toby Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1511 E.

It is a book about the Jewish Bible-- for Christian Children--it's title is misleading. I wonder whether the rabbi who wrote the foreward was aware of this. I've seen this phenomenon numerous times in books on Israel or the Middle East -- scholars get their names attached as consultants but there is no way they could have been aware of what the books really said!
