Good idea, but missing key portions of Scripture

I should probably start out by saying that I am a homeschool mom, and a university theology professor. So I am very picky when it comes to children's resources for Bible education. I don't like most of them because they dumb the information down and treat kids like they aren't capable of learning good theology. I bought this Bible as a supplement to our homeschool Bible curriculum. I like how it provides intelligent, but simple, explanations of historical and cultural background issues of the Bible. Unfortunately, after we started using it I noticed that major portions of Scripture are missing. For example, we were working our way through the book of Daniel when we suddenly noticed that the final verses of chapter 6 was missing. Then we flipped the page to see that the rest of Daniel is absent as well. Also, the text of the minor prophets is omitted; only short synopses are included. Although this is disappointing, I still think this Bible is the best children's Bible out there for ages 7 to 11. It doesn't talk down to kids and presents them with sound, but readable, background information.

Awsome study Bible for Kids

This Bible is for 7-11 year olds who are ready to read scriptures directly from the bible instead of in a story version. It includes a passage from the Bible along with photo's and descriptions that help the child gain background information(includes both science and historical information such as info about locusts or about the area where it takes place) to support their reading. I was very impressed at the quality of the information (not filled with a bunch of cartoon-like drawings. I saw this Bible at our local Christian Bookstore and I will be purchasing this for my children.
