The Bible as a story book

What a pleasurable introduction to the Bible as a storybook for all denominations. Written in plain, but not childish language, I found this book to be a good review for me. It's not preachy or full of contrived messages, just presents the Old and New Testament as a series of short stories. It reads aloud very well, but my first grader can read it and understand it himself. To top it off, the illustrations are wonderful; colorful and intricate, something you could spend forever looking at. I am buying copies to have as gifts as my nieces and nephews start celebrating special occasions.
