This a very good bible story book for the little ones. My 1 1/2 year old grandaughter sees it on our bookshelf and knows that it is hers.
She goes right to it, takes it down and hands it ot me to read from.

Best beginner's bible

2008-02-25
I looked at several beginner bible books for my little girl who wished to know more but was having difficulty understanding the stories from the bible. This book is the perfect beginner's bible. The stories are short with colorful pictures. She loves it so much we are starting the book again for the second time! I recommend this book to any mom who's looking for bible stories that are easy to read and understand.

Beginners Bible

My 4 year old loved this book. At this point she is so insanely in love with god and this book has helped her to understand god's teachings in a preschool way. It has cute little illustrations and short stories that go fittingly with gods teachings.

Not a thoughtful rendition

The problem with this beginners Bible is how it represents God. Imagine, the story of Noah begins with God being "sad" because people didn't think of him (and so consequently flooding the earth). This makes God seem like a tyrant to a small child (imagine creating fear in a child re: thinking of God). The actual scripture says "the thoughts of man were only evil all of the time." This could be better put into child language such as God felt upset because the people he made kept hurting each other and doing mean things to each other (so SOMETHING closer to the idea in scripture). A kind of lazy thinking dominates both the text and illustrations (which lack any depth or expression besides googley eyes). Imagine my dismay when I received three for my sons first birthday. As someone who does not like to take God's name in vain, I feel this thoughtless representation does just that.

Awesome!

As a 3 & 4 year old Christian Preschool teacher, I absolutely love this little book! What is even better is that my students love it too! :o) I can never get away with reading just one story from this book because the kids always ask for more! I first saw an older version of this book when I was talking with our Kindergarten teacher in her classroom. She told me that she loved it too because it covered some stories that our normal Bible curriculum didn't cover. So, about a two months ago, I purchased one to use in my own classroom. I was so impressed with the reactions of my students in the classroom, that I have decided to give these great little books to all of my students who move up to Kindergarten at the end of the year as a "graduation" gift. It was such a blessing to see the looks on their little faces when received their books. Thank you for having such a wonderful starting point for young hearts who are on their way to a lifetime of serving our Lord and Savior.

Kids loved this book

My kids - ages 5, 7 & 9 - devoured this book. They each read it cover to cover in the first few days. Its been 6 months since I bought it for them, and they are still reading it.

These Bibles were an excellent buy, although for younger children, maybe at the first-grade level

Developmentally the Best for age 0-3

2008-04-21
As a pastor, I was very interested in finding a bible that was developmentally appropriate, had good artwork, and held my 1 year olds attention. Each story is 4-6 pages (just right for this age). There are not too many words on each page, and the pictures are well done and interesting. I bought a bunch to hand out for dedications because this is a Bible that parents can actually look forward to reading to their babies.
