We handed this out at our Tots group and creche at Easter time and it fit the bill entirely. Lovely illustrations and told the Easter story in a way little ones can understand.
A colourful little book that stays true to the Bible text, but isn't too long or difficult for children to listen to and understand. Could be used from toddler age upwards. It's difficult to produce pictures to capture the Easter events, and these are rather 'cheerful', but the text is great.
Child friendly colourful pictures accompany this great beginners bible for younger children, introducing main stories and characters from the bible.
Bible given to a child when leaving Mum and Toddler group. Well received by parent/grandparent. Very heavy for a child.
Is is a gorgeous book to give to a child. Bright colours, lovely illustrations, altogether a great way to start little ones into God's word. Particularly good to give to children in families that don't "do church". Highly recommend.
We like to give our Toddler group (67 of them and counting!) a Christian book or something at Christmas and Easter. This little book is perfect for Easter with lovely bright illustrations and true to the story. It was well received.
Out of all the children's Bibles I've seen, this is the one that strikes the best balance between being easy for young children to understand while at the same time thoroughly Biblical. The level of language used is probably aimed at age 4+, but since there's just the right amount of picture pages for each story, it also keeps the attention of younger children. My three-year-old has loved his since he was not quite two, and with the occasional re-wording of some of the harder concepts, or sometimes just talking about the pictures, he has gained a real understanding of most of the stories. We use it with the Beginning With God notes, which are also excellent, and he really looks forward for his Bible story every evening, and at other times of day he will sit and look through it or ask for a story to be read to him. Highly recommended to all Christian parents or anyone wanting to buy a Bible for a young child.
I bought this for my 5 year old and she has hardly looked at any other book since getting it! The stories are just the right length to hold her attention and she loves the colourful pictures. Highly recommended for this age group.
Very colourful and easy to read - a good way to get children to learn about God, Jesus and and bible stories
My Grandson has not seen this book yet as I have bought it for his birthday which is in July, but I am very pleased with it as it is very colourful just what youngsters need to attract their attention.
