Great children's version of Scripture and aligned with the ESV translation of the text. Geared toward a more older audience (it says 2-7, but I'd say more like 5-9), it's a welcomed story of the gospel.

The best story Bible I’ve read to date.

Love the illustrations! The section summaries are a little trite, but I’m excited to start it over with my kids.

Just got done reading through this with my 4 year old son & 6 year old daughter.The illustrations are excellently done. There are depictions of Jesus, so, if you are against that, you will want to avoid this resource. There are 130 stories chosen from the Bible and each one has a glossary of terms, thought questions, and a prayer to pray. The story Bible is quite long - just under 500 pages. Each story is roughly 2 pages long with another page being the illustration. I would recommend this for family devotions. It is one of the better story Bibles that I have worked through with the kids.
