Amazon.com Review: "The Bible is like a letter from God to you and me. It tells the story of God's love for us. We read about God and his friends and the adventures they went on." In this cheery book with picture cutouts and a fun plastic carrying handle, many of the most important stories from the Bible are adapted for very young children. Moving on from Baby's First Bible, these readers (or future readers) are ready to delve deeper into the message of the Bible. Featuring the same kid-friendly elements of the other titles in the First Bible collection, this version includes brief biblical parables with catchy titles: "The Floating Zoo!" depicts Noah and his ark, "The Big Picnic" tells of the loaves and the fish, and "God's Wonderful Surprise!" is about Jesus's resurrection. Special thoughts, mini activities, and interactive questions invite families to discuss the meaning of the stories. Following the account of David and Goliath, with a picture of David slinging a stone at the giant, the sidebar comment is "With God on your side, you can do anything!" Parents might want to include a caveat after tales like these--kids, don't try this at home! (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
Sweet, thoughtful illustrations and wording This sweet, easy to read and easy to understand Bible will be great to read to your kids and when they're old enough, to read for themselves. The book is far from a word-for-word translation - rather a child's synopsis of major characters. Adam & Eve, Noah, Joseph, Daniel in the lions' den, etc.
Each story is summarized in one page, with easy to grasp wording. The illustrations are absolutely precious. Nearly every page has an animal in the background or foreground, usually looking content and happy. As Noah & his family are aboard the "floating zoo," a nearby whale is seen grinning ear to ear.
As depicted in the illustration concerning Moses, the Red Sea is parted and the Israelites run happily on dry land ahead of the Egyptians. In addition to donkeys, sheep, goats, etc., you can see a scruffy, happy little dog running along with them. These are sweet, thoughtful illustrations to stimulate the mind of the reader. There are so many details, your kids will love spotting new things each time they look at the pictures and read the stories.
A wonderful "FIRST" bible perfect for a small child's hands, this handy bible's brightcolors combined with the child-like wording is wonderful. A great wayto introduce your child to Christianity.
