1ST BIBLE STORIES

A BEAUTIFUL BOOK FOR CHILDREN. MY GRANDAUGHTER AND I WILL REALLY ENJOY IT. IT WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. THANK YOU

Accurate Stories great illustrations

This book has very accurate stories and very nice illustrations. I have only found a few places where I have had to add to or change up the story slightly for my child to get the full picture. I have looked at a number of 4-8 year old Bible story books and this is by far the best. Highly recommend!

Great Bible Stories

This is a beautiful book, with great stories. I will be using it to teach mentally retarded adults. Sadly, it is out of print and is difficult to find.

Best preschooler Bible

I love this children's Bible, and so do my kids! This Bible has the perfect amount of detail and information to keep my children (ages 3 and 5) interested. The pictures add to the story and are beautifully drawn. We own many other children's Bibles -- most are too "babyish" for them now, or else too much text with not enough pictures. Not this one -- the perfect balance. It also includes some stories that are hard to find in most children's Bibles, such as the story of Ruth and Naomi, the tower of Babel, and many of the parables that Jesus told. I highly recommend this to any Christian wanting to share God's word with their preschooler.

a nice starter Bible

This would make a good first Bible for a youngster, either to be read to, or for when the child has become proficient enough in reading skills to do so alone, as the language First Bible Stories is written in is fluid, simple, and easily understood.The illustrations by John Dillow are plentiful, briskly drawn and colorful; The expressive faces of the people have a cartoon quality, and the animals are adorable. There are plenty of cats and dogs in the pictures too, like a cat with the farm animals in the manger, and two dogs with the people listening to The Sermon on the Mount.The pages are thick with a matte finish, and it is sturdily bound and quite a heavy volume. Each story has the Bible chapter reference, and Jillian Harker has done an excellent job with this adaptation; with 30 stories from the Old Testament, and 35 from the New Testament, there should be enough wonderful reading for many years of a child's life."Everyone who listened to Jesus' stories was amazed at how simply they told the truth of God" (page 273).
