Editorial Review
With more than a million copies sold, this classic Scripture provides an ageless Bible story for every day of the year. It's a perfect addition to any Sunday school room or children's church program.

"Many children's books retell Bible stories. This is one of the best for its factual, sensitive and imaginative approach. The stories are allowed to speak for themselves in a panorama of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and each is beautifully and imaginatively illustrated. [Here is] storytelling par excellence, clear, uncomplicated, concise, superlative."—Churchman

We have purchased this Bible storybook for many years for our Kindergarten children. The only thing we don't like about the book is that it is written at a higher reading level. This means that parents need to be reading with their child ... but that isn't such a bad thing. By the time the child is a more independent reader they are ready for their first complete Bible, not a storybook.
The pictures leave a bit to be desired. The fact that this is one of the only (if not only) storybook in a 365 day format is a huge bonus in helping to develop daily Bible reading habits from an early age!
Enjoy! Our families continue to choose this storybook over others!
LOVE the Story Per Day, Sometimes a Bit to Wordy 2008-07-13
I love the format of this children's Bible in that the stories are just a few paragraphs long, one for each day of the year. But they still go into enough detail so the meaning is not lost. My child usually asks me to continue and read further then just the one story-per-day, so it passed the REAL test - that of a child for whom the book is intended.
The illustrations, though, are my favorite. Many children's Bible's are very cotton-candy pastel, and that type of illustration just doesn't hold the attention of my 6 year old boy. These illustrations, however, are realistic, beautiful, rich in color and detail - and they don't gloss over the brutality that is a part of the Old Testament (and yet, at the same time, there's nothing gory or frightening within).
I give this 4 instead of 5 stars because I feel the language is a bit too advanced. I often find myself simplifying sentences or words so that my child can understand the storyline. I also think sometimes this book goes into a bit too much detail in a story, and the child can lose interest.
Still, I think this is one of the best of the bunch for younger children who are not yet ready for reading of the actual Bible, or for whom a condensed story line would be a beneficial addition.
Wonderful to teach your children how to read 2008-06-16
When both my girls were 3 years old I began reading this book to them every night. One story per night. When they were 4 years old, I started over and never underestimated them (kids are much smarter than we give them credit for). They remembered the stories from the previous year. Only this time around, I began showng them how the words are pronounced. By the end of this 2nd year, THEY were reading the book to me. The following year, they began kindergarten. But there was a huge, HUGE difference........my girls already knew how to read! And since then, I now have a child who just completed her 1st year of college and one who just completed her 1st year of high school. Both have had advanced courses and both continue the trend of getting straight As! This little insignificant book can really place your child's feet on solid ground for their future education. And I haven't even began to state the Message of the book. In a world rushing to judgement and a country which has forgotten and outlawed God, this book is a MUST for parents. Hopefully...oh how I hope that a young parent will read this review and follow my example by teaching their children both how to read, and to introduce them to the Lord Jesus.
love this bible 
2008-05-15
My 10 year old daughter and I love this bible. We read it together every night, usually two chapters a night. It is great because it is pretty accurate, yet easy to understand. I would recommend it for kids 7-10 or even older. If you child is still too young for the real bible but too old for the baby ones, this one is perfect.
Great Children's Bible 2008-03-04
I really like this children's bible. The stories are detailed enough that an older child enjoys them, and simple enough for the younger children. I love using this before bed time.
Great tool for developing the discipline of daily Bible reading. 2008-01-23

Beautiful Bible! 2008-01-14
Bought this Bible for our 4 year old grandson, who is in Awana Cubbies. He is very excited to learn about God and Jesus, and loves to hear the stories God gave us. This is a lovely book to learn from, with very nice illustrations. Thank you.
The Children's Bible in 365 Stories 2007-09-06
I am a 51 year old "NEW CHRISTIAN". I do not know any of the Bible stories that so many people learned as a child so I thought this would be the easiest way to learn them. I LOVE the book and would recommend it to people of ALL ages!
My daughter loves to read this book 2007-08-12
My 10 year old daughter reads this Bible version like a novel. She took a break from reading "Harry Potter" to read this instead!
She had tried to read the actual Bible, but it was too advanced for her understanding level. I figured that if she could read this version now, she can go back when she's older and read the real thing with a better understanding.
I recommend this for any parent that would like to get their 9-12 year old interested in the Bible!
Best of the Best 2007-07-13
This is by far my favorite children's bible - for the slightly older child. It contains the whole arc of the old testament narrative, not just a few famous names, with the stories of the great prophets and of the women and of the kings woven in. The stories contextualize important historical information that might not be part of the bible story itself, but are familiar and helpful pieces of good study notations. The drawings are beautiful. The selections were just the right length for bedtime stories and held my son's attention night after night after night.
