Don’t Be Fooled,
For those who enjoyed the Beginner’s Bible by Karyn Henley, this is NOT it! I gave Karyn’s bible to my son seven years ago and was looking for a replacement for my daughter. I bought this bible by mistake because the illistrations and title were so similar and have been hugely disappointed. It lacks depth and purpose in the stories. This book might as well been written by an athiest who can spout out a story line but lacks any genuine understanding behind the story. If looking for a children’s bible I strongly recommend finding a Beginner’s Bible by Karen Henley (used or new) rather than settling for this or any other children’s edition that reduces these stories to a trite sequence of events.

|Nice, but Lacking,
It is a good Bible for children who are learning to read, but not suitable for reading and teaching accurate bible history or lessons to young school age children. The stories are simplistic, and, as one reviewer suggested, kind of “leave you hanging”. The illustrations are also simple, and very “cartoonish”. Also, many good Bible stories are missing altogether.
If you want an accurate, easy to understand, complete Bible Story book with beautiful, “true to the times” illustrations, I suggest the “Children’s Bible in 365 Stories” by Mary Batchelor. I bought that along with this one, and we liked that one much better.

|Excellent in every way,
This Bible has been the perfect teaching tool for my child. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, the text is appropriate for young readers, and the division of stories comes at the right spacing for brief attention spans. This is not a literal, word-per-word excerpt from the Bible, but rather a paraphrasing into not only vocabulary but tone that is just right for children. I have begun to purchase this and give it out to friends with new babies, in hopes that their kids will grow up with this text too. A great version of the Bible.
