Love it

Great quality, the kids at church love the pictures and easy to read stories

Get it.

This is a very good book to get your children closer to God. I really enjoy reading to them and I make them take turns to read I also.

Fantastic First Bible!

My wife and I bought this Bible for our little boy's first birthday and he absolutely loved it! The stories are only two pages long (perfect for his attention span) and the pictures are beautiful. If you're looking for a good first Bible for a very young child, you just found it!

This was my oldest son's favorite book!

Although my oldest son has about a hundred books on his bookshelf, this was his favorite book from the time he was three until about five. He would always choose this book to read from at bedtime, and the very short story format allows you to choose a 1-minute bedtime story or longer, depending on your schedule that night. My son is very inquisitive, and the stories brought up lots of questions he had about God and the Bible. It was great to be asked such important questions. I'm so glad I found this book - I bought one for my second son, and now I'm buying one as a baptism gift for our child-on-the-way.

So far, our 1st choice Bible for our 2 year old

We haven't gone through the whole Bible yet with our two year old, but so far, we have enjoyed this children's Bible. He particularly enjoys the pictures and the little images of bugs and rainbows and such, which they've included near the page numbers! We have noticed that it shares more than just stories from the Bible as many children's Bibles do...it tries to teach LESSONS from the stories, for example, on the Creation and Fall story, some children's Bibles only focus on Creation and skip the Fall story. This Bible also teaches about the Fall, specifically pointing out that Adam and Eve disobeyed God and that God sent them out of the Garden as part of their punishment. The next story is about Cain and Abel and how one obeyed and the other disobeyed. Following that is the Noah story, teaching how Noah believed and obeyed God.My 2 wishes so far in this version of the Bible is (1) for the author to connect the stories somehow...for example, to transition from the Cain and Abel story to the Noah story, one could say something to the effect of: "People all over the earth were evil and God decided to destroy mankind with a lot of rain. However, Noah believed God and God was merciful by protecting Noah and his family..." And (2) for each book of the Bible to be given attention. I noticed Leviticus was skipped, which is important to establish the foundation of the concept of sacrificial atonement, the precursor for all to understand the system which God chose to establish, so that Christ substitutionary sacrifice for us would make more sense.Haven't gotten to the New Testament yet to give an editorial...
