Elliot loves these storybooks. We have read all five volumes now and he has enjoyed them all. He is really into David and Goliath, so we’ve been reading that one a lot. The illustrations are simple, but very large, which is perfect for toddlers

[Lynnette · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is the best Bible stories for toddlers we've read so far. This one has some minor problems with a few application questions, but the illustrations are much better than volume 3 and my just about 17 month old adores these books.

Great retold Bible stories for toddlers. Has my toddlers begging for more stories each night.

This is a collection of roughly 6-7 Bible stories in each volume. The drawings are cute, and often the facial expressions make me chuckle while reading.

Our family loves these books!

This is the all-boy edition! Girls can benefit, too, but this is an especially great gift for little boys as each story features a boy figuring out his relationship with God.

SERIES REVIEW:
This is an excellent series. Some of the tools used to engage children (step, step, step, step when people are walking) are a bit repetitive to adult readers throughout the series, but the children seem to love hearing them over and over. Other positives include Lindvall's ability to bring children and childlike perspectives center stage in familiar Bible stories, as well as the "What did you learn?" section that reinforces principles presented. An added bonus is the series is intriguing for babies all the way through young readers. We own the entire series and give them as gifts. Highly recommended.

Age Range: 3 & up
These stories are really meant to be read aloud – they are full of onomatopoeia and questions. At the end of each story, there is a “What did you learn?” section that encourages discussion. The illustrations are simple and the story is detailed enough to give the reader the whole picture without getting too confusing.
