This is a very inviting book that accomplishes two things together: it familiarizes the kids with names and timeless stories from the Bible and it further encourages young children (ages 3-6) to read independently as every page contains only two to five simple sentences. Colorful pictures and smooth storytelling are the excellent features of the BEGINNER's BIBLE and the major stories in Old Testament (from Adam and Eve to Joseph's colorful robe, from the Wise King Solomon to Jonah & the Big Fish) as well as New Testament (from Jesus' birth to His teaching on a mountain, from His parables to His miracles, from His fructification to His risen) are all included. It will fill little children's heart with grace and prepare them for further bible studies.

Excellent book! Great for kids! Colourful images and not too much writing. My 5 year old loves it! Great way to teach the bible stories to your kids!

This book has perfect little "stories", each about 3-4 pages long. Beautiful art on every page. This is great for bedtime because "Just one more Mom?" is easy to do : )

Happy with this book, works well for the attention span a young child has. Slightly frustrating that it misses details, but maybe I'm expecting my kids to pick up to much. Its simplified, and to the point.
i would recommend this for young kids.
My kids LOVE it, and ask for me to read it often, and the pictures are good.

We love this Bible for our children and it was a great Christmas present for relatives as well. The service was super fast, and we are really satisfied with this purchase.

Reason for Reading: Ds read to me over about the period of a year as his bible reading. We had a schedule where on every Fri. I would put away our usual religious instruction materials and he would lead the lesson by reading for 20 minutes from this book and it would also cover his reader for the day, thus lightening Friday's load. He started the book off managing to read one story per allotted time but by the New Testament he was reading three stories each sitting as a rule. So we watched his reading improve over the course of this book.

This is a very nice first Bible reader for any child who is at that stage of reading and also would make a great read aloud to pre-schoolers. The pictures are very cartoonish, which I'm not too keen on, but ds enjoyed the look of the book very much and never complained about reading from it. A good selection of stories, including all the popular ones, with the New Testament told chronologically. This Bible is from a Protestant point of view and as Catholics we had very little problem with that at all. The OT presented no problems for us and the NT was only conspicuous in what it left out. The only story we needed to talk about afterwards was the story that tells of Jesus telling Peter to "take good care of His people". It seemed to be an afterthought and we discussed the whole real story we've read from the Gospel. Otherwise a decent, good, entertaining, well-written easy reader, for kids to have as their first Bible they can read themselves.

This Bible is great for preschool children. It goes from Creation to Revelation with Old and New Testament stories in simple language for them to understand. The pictures are also very age appropriate. My daughter loves it!
