Our favorite children's Bible

My oldest is 3 and we went to Barnes and Noble and bought every children's Bible they had. From funny cartoon Bibles to more serious, we've read them all and this, BY FAR, is our favorite. It pretty well stays right on the scripture, word for word, and the illustrations are fabulous! They just say a whole lot with their simplicity and beauty of color and the scriptures chosen for this Bible have a lot of meaning. It's not so much a "Bible story book" as it is a "get to know Jesus, Bible". LOVE IT!

My Favorite Children's Bible

Every night since my six year old was a toddler we have read a little bit of a children's Bible before bed. Ella Lindvall's wonderful Read Aloud Bible Stories have been staples particularly during the preschool years. The Beginner's Bible by Deanna Davis helped at the next stage and provided a nice sweep of the whole Bible in brightly colored several page stories. We graduated to a chapter book and began to read The Children's Story Bible by Catherine Vos for a while but the sparseness of illustrations began to wear on my (then) five year old. We have since moved to the Golden Children's Bible that reads at the same level as Vos but features lush colored illustrations on every page. All that is to say I have spent a lot of time look at and reading kid's Bibles. This book is a true gem among the whole field. The book focuses entirely on Jesus but, includes some elements of the Old Testament to provide a frame for understanding salvation history. Each glossy page of this manageable (8x8) book features a short paragraph directly from scripture and a lovely and elegant full color cartoon illustration that occupies the top two thirds of the page. This is a perfect book for those "in between" stages - colorful enough to be a delight to older preschoolers, but substantive enough to hold a school age child's attention. A fantastic book.
