Very kid friendly 
2008-06-22
My daughter received this book as a gift. She is 5 years old and after reading her the first story, she wants one every morning before school and every night before bed. It has wonderful bible stories that are told in a way that fun and easy for kids to understand. The illustrations are very colorful.
Great Bible 2008-06-14
We were looking for a Bible for our five year old daughter. She had outgrown the Rhyme Bibles and other baby-ish Bibles, but she wasn't ready for the full-blown NIV or NLT. This Bible fills an important niche in between.
The text is not transliterated but paraphrased. Very well written. Grace-centered. Christ-centered. And it gives young and old alike the central message of the Bible.
The Promised Savior 2008-05-25
A fantastic walk-through-the-Bible for young kids. Gives young kids a feel for the important events/stories in Biblical history starting at the beginning but most importantly each focuses on the coming need of the Savior instead of a story just being a story. Excellent way to show how it all ties in and explain what we need and why we need HIM!
Do we need another Bible? 2008-05-15
The Jesus Storybook Bible has four very attractive characteristics:
1. The author shows how every Old Testament story foreshadows the coming of Jesus to rescue his people. Every Bible story "whispers his name." Jesus is the piece that makes all the other pieces of the Bible story puzzle fit together.
2. The main theme of the story is "God's Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever, Love."
3. The stories are written in very understandable language for children ages four and up.
4. The illustrations are outstanding. Kids and adults will love them. The individual who recommended this book to me said his two-year old was attracted by the illustrations.
Best Children's Bible 2008-05-13
The best children's Bible that I have ever seen. Great illustrations...but more than that, a clear explanation of God's redemptive plan to save us through Jesus Christ. Most children's curriculum and books focus on moralism. This focuses on Jesus Christ.
My 3 year old brings this everywhere...and now her Sunday School teacher uses her Bible EVERY SUNDAY!
Each family must own this...even if your children are grown.
Best Ever! 2008-07-24
This Bible Storybook is wonderful, fantastic, awesome!! I think anyone with children should have it. I bought 5 so I could start blessing all the young families I have a reason to give a gift to and also so I could have one at my home (no children at home any longer.)
Stories not accurate to Bible 
2008-07-18
I was so excited when I orginally read reviews about this book. My Daughter had out grown the toddler Bible story books and this look appeared perfect. Unfortunately, after I started reading it with her I soon found that the stories were not truely accurate to the Bible. The heart of the stories are there but the author embelishes the stories which when teaching a child is inappropriate.
The child doesn't know that what is written is not authentic and that is unacceptable. I have wanted to write a review for a number of months but had put it off and tonight when I signed on to write the review I did see another user that had the same issue with the book as I do and I encourage you to read that review for examples but I will give at least one example. Here is an excerpt from the story of David and Goliath:
Begin Quote
"Chickens!" Goliath bellowed. "Your God can't save you! I'll rip your heads off and have you on toast!" His beady, greedy eyes glowered at them hungrily from under his horrible helmet - as if any minute he really might just gobble them all up. And he laughed his terrible laugh. "Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha" it boomed, echoing horribly around and around the dry, dry valley. Well, Goliath might just as well have been a green slimy monster with three heads because God's people froze with fear.
End quote
Most of what you read here will not be found in the Bible. You can recognize that most of it is creative story telling but even the quote of Goliath saying "Your God can't save you" that is not found in the Bible; in fact Goliath never makes a reference to God.
I kept looking for a Bible book and have been happy with "First Bible Stories" see link below
First Bible Stories
Anyone can read this book and learn something 
2008-07-17
This is a thoughtful, respectful, intelligent book that you can share with ANYONE who has a remotely open mind.
The only reason it gets four stars is that I was looking for something a bit more dense and challenging, but now that I think about it, how many people out there are geeks like me? Not many.
This book is extremely engaging, using questions posed by REAL people and providing REAL answers with great insight. So, for what it lacks in philosophical depth (okay, you can read the stuff in the references if you must) it makes up for in accessibility to (almost) any reader.
CAVEAT: This book is not for stupid or closed-minded individuals, whether they be Christian or Atheistic in their faith walk. But if you can't grasp the reasoning, you probably weren't pondering the questions in the first place.
This book does not give you pat answers or smug circular reasoning. It does acknowledge the validity of some anti-Theist arguments and then gently and thoughtfully dissects them. Atheists, skeptics, agnostics, and thoughtful Christians alike will appreciate the fact that they are not being taken for a ride.
The first half of the book examines arguments against Christianity, and agrees where agreement is appropriate. There is no whitewash, only reason and good arguments.
The second half of the book gives reasons that support Christianity. It is very helpful, but not arrogant or over-the-top.
You can purchase this book for any friend without embarrassment.
Recommended.
Great Book 2008-06-24
I bought this book as a birthday present for my 6 year son. We read it everynight and he seems to really enjoy it. It inspires lots of questions from him.
Great teaching tool! 2008-06-23
This is a wonderful Bible storybook for kids. It literally does bring you back to Jesus in every story. I read it to my great-nephews whenever they are over. They love to look at the pictures and pick out a story and when we get to the end they now know that whatever story it is it will bring us back to Jesus. We are able to talk about Him and how much He loves them. I recommend it for all. I purchased two for our church preschool department.
