A mediocre choice for a starter bible for very young children. My child seems to enjoy it, however I am disappointed that it leaves out some critical elements of the gospel message.

Eli liked it well enough, but I will not be reading it to him again. There is no mention of the saving work of Christ in the whole thing... Calling it a "Bible" is sacrilege.

Short "overview" of the Bible. Will be an easy one when Everett is learning to read. 😊

Jacob has been reading this bible to Daddy before bedtime for a couple of weeks now. 4/8/15

This has been an amazing bible for my family. It has helped my son learn to read and given him a desire for reading. It has been such a precious bonding time for my son and husband to do together. To see the joy on Jacob's face when he came to tell me he had just finished reading this bible was priceless!!!! There is no better way to learn to read than reading God's word. We are so thankful to God for his word and the ability to read it freely in the U.S. We are so proud of Jacob for glorifying the Lord in this way, for asking and wanting to read this bible instead of learning to read from our reading book "Learn to read in 100 easy lessons" (which wasn't working for him at the time but now that he has finished the bible he is willing to go back and read this book), and for completing 491 pages with no fuss but rather excitement! Thank you Lord for giving me a heart to let go of my check the box attitude towards home education and for giving Jacob this awesome experience. This has also encouraged Ellie to read her bible to daddy at night too!..6/29/15

This Bible has a padded cover, board pages, and cute, cartoony pictures. It generally sticks to one spread per story, and it covers some of the major Bible tales: creation, Noah's ark, Moses' life, Daniel and the lions, Jesus' birth and ministry. The stories are generally brief enough to appeal to the board book set.

I read this to help me and my son practice our Spanish, but not going to attempt to write my review in Spanish. The stories are retold in a kid-friendly, easy-to-read style and the illustrations provided many contextual clues that helped us figure out unfamiliar words. So as an aide to learning Spanish, it was helpful and I recommend to anyone using for that purpose.

Me & my daughter read this together over time & she loved it! Really got us talking about God's word more! She just turned 6 and says because she enjoyed this so much & wants to hear more she is ready for a complete bible! :)

Maybe my favorite children's Bible, and I've read quite a few. Biblically accurate, great story selection, and moves through the Bible in order from Genesis to Revelation. Loved this for morning devotions with my young kids!

No cross or resurrection!!! No gospel! Unfortunately for a children‘s ‘Bible’ by a mainstream publisher, no surprise.

[Judy Lindow · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good simple children's illustrated introduction to the old and New Testaments. Followed by Parent Pages that can be used as extensions to share and understand more deeply the teachings on a practical level. Biblical citations are next to the Parent page, but unfortunately no back references to the content in the book.

This is a good book for getting the 'general idea': the sequence of events historically, the basic characters - their names, roles, and basic character, where things were happening, and some definitions. There are few details, interpretations, anything deep, scary, or judgmental.
IMO, the book could be read to any pK-3 group (it might not build on what older students
already know) ... it could be leveled up to 5th grade for readers. It really depends on your groups.
The extensions are useful for all ages.

A simple basic map would have been useful.

sands off the edges for kids, but somehow the word 'slaves' is still in this book, waiting to be explained by an unsuspecting parent! hey dont mind this review, i only idly read this book, standing in a wal-mart aisle on dec 28th to fulfill my 2018 reading challenge, along with 30+ other small childrens books i read in a library across the street. this book is obviously not for me but is perfectly fine at what it sets out to do. but what about me, hmm? am i perfectly fine at what i set out to do?

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

[Patricia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Padded cover, sturdy pages, fun illustrations. But does not include anything about sin. It goes right from creation being pronounced "very good," to Noah. No mention of why Jesus came, his crucifixion, or the resurrection. In other words, this "Bible" has no gospel. It's not what I want for reading to my grandchildren.

[Alana · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this very abbreviated collection to my infant son before bed at night. It's got some lovely, vibrant illustrations, some very basic introductory Bible stories, and good pacing for a short attention span.

[Amara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good overview of The Bible. But! Hear me out, for the atheist/agnostic family. Undoubtedly the children will come in contact with stories and mentions and at least this way, they’ll have been exposed to it in a similar vein to Greek myths, etc. There’s no proselytising or mention of being saved.

I read this to my daughter and she seemed to throughly enjoy it.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short and sweet telling of key biblical stories to introduce them to young kids. Enjoyable.

[Lauren C · Rating 1 out of 5]

A catholic spin on this early reader that has more biblical error (such as the wisemen gave gifts, not kings). It also just believing, nothing about baptism or why Christ came to earth.

[Leslie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect bible for kids from grades 1 to 3, even up to 5th grade if you have a reluctant reader on your hands. I love the excellent illustrations on each page. In fact, each page is equally divided with illustration and text, which is a nice, big size. The reading is heavily paraphrased but done skillfully. My little guy is a pretty good reader, but books more appropriate for his level all seemed to have tiny font sizes and barely different from adult bibles. This bible is geared toward this age of the average elementary school kiddo. They won't get burned out by it, they will appreciate the cool and not super cutesy illustrations and just enjoy the reading. It's a hardback kinda like a library cover so is tough enough for even rowdy boys. Can you tell I like it? I saw it on Amazon and thought nothing of it so am glad to have found it at Half Price Books. While there, I also saw a couple if kiddie bibles that looked decent on Amazon but were really not good in real life.

I read all the short stories in this book and I founded it all fascinating. For the most part, I thought it was a really great book because it's like a timeline of the bible. It starts with the creation story and ends with Jesus and the children. I really enjoyed the story about David and Goliath because I never really read the story about it. This book will make a great book for reading aloud, especially for children who have not heard these stories yet, such as me. These stories are very old and a part of an oral history, so children can have a better understanding of different religious belief.

I have been searching high and low for a good, easy to read children's Bible. I finally found it with this book. It has most of the Bible stories that you really really need (the "My First Bible" that I was given left out Adam and Eve sinning and Jesus dying on the cross). The art is very colorful but true to the time period (someone on Amazon pointed out that women back then did not wear pearl earrings). When my daughter gets bigger, she will be able to read it to me. I was a little skeptical when I saw that this was by Scholastic, but they proved me wrong.

[Darrin Cayatineto]

The stories from the bible, such as Noah's Ark tells a story of legends. I really liked this children's book because it has a lot animals and it's very colorful. I like the idea that Noah saved the animals by gathering them into a giant ark. Since, legends are stories told from generation after generation I thought I would share a great game to get students or children involve in an activity. The activity is called the telephone game. The game is played by telling a person a sentence and the line of students whisper it, into each others ear. The last person who hers the sentence, re-tells it.

A lovely second Bible for any child who wants to learn more about the Bible. The Bible presents key books from the Bible (both the Old and New Testament) in a collection of short stories with lively and colorful illustrations and fun snippets of information.

This book definitely makes the Bible accessible to any child in a fun, clear, and concise way.

My daughter enjoyed this book so much she asked me to read it with her, twice. We might even go through it one more time to refresh her memory during the summer months.

Would recommend.

This children's Bible stands out with its brief, informative notes that explain the people, places, conventions, and concepts that appear in the stories. The pictures are bright, colorful, and modern; and the stories well cover the content and message of the Bible. It lays a good foundation for reading the whole Bible later on.

[Sydni · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Precious Children and Family Bible covering stories from Genesis through Revelation. Fifty-two Old Testament stories and Fifty-four New Testament stories, give your family an opportunity to study God's Word all year. In addition, there is a parent section to help offer ideas for discussion and further guidance in your children's walk with Christ Jesus.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Board book style,OT and NT, some are longer, some, 1-2 pages per Biblical account. Cartoon drawings and those included confine this to children, rather than Alzheimer crossover. Well done, inviting illustrations.ABS.

[Matthew Coiner · Rating 3 out of 5]

This has some nice art in it and it tells some of the bible stories in a very simple fashion. However, it leaves out the story that is central to scripture. It leaves out Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

[Soojung Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great in between resource with great tidbits of further information. I wish that on the pages of the stories with a correlating parent page, there was a symbol on the Bible story letting you know there was a correlating parent page.

Amazing artwork

Flows well! A great visual took to go along with Bible studies. Would like to see a bit about the Second Coming and Heaven but it's nice to see the cute depictions of Eden. The colors are beautiful.

[Paola · Rating 5 out of 5]

We love it. We read a story (or four) every night. Very easy and simple for children, and enjoyable for adults. It's like a bible cartoon on book. My daughter loves it.
