5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Bible, January 20, 2000

This review is from: Baby's First Bible (The First Bible Collection) (Board book)

My daughter received this book as a gift. She has enjoyed the book immensely with it's vivid colors, see through page cutouts, & cute animals. Each story is very short - perfect for short attention spans. There is an activity for the child to do after each little story. (i.e. Pretend you're the princess rocking the baby gently in your arms.)

For added interest, I ask my daughter to point out the butterfly, swan, Jesus, apples, etc. I highly recommend this book as a gift for a new mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for toddlers .... easy to understand., July 31, 1998

This review is from: Baby's First Bible (The First Bible Collection) (Board book)

I purchased this book for a friend's new baby and was surprised by the cute handle with raised artwork of animals and flowers. Each page contains a high-level version of fun and important stories in the Old and New Testaments. Also, each story is accompanied by a parent/child activity to increase the learning experience. This is a must buy gift or for your own children.

This review is from: Baby's First Bible (The First Bible Collection) (Board book)

This is an excellent first Bible for baby. It is simple and with GREAT pictures! You can discuss with your child and add on as your child's comprehension and attention-span allow. My toddler and I have had much spontaneous dialogue about what's going on in the pages of this book. The pictures are PERFECT to allow that dialogue--full of activity and bright and colorful pictures of Bible characters and the Ark, etc. Jesus in particular is shown in a way which makes him stand out in the mind of a child. In some other Bibles it can be difficult for young kids to distinguish between the different characters. While some may dislike the simple wording, I really think it's a GREAT starting place for very young children and does not overwhelm. This is a FIRST Bible, not a second Bible. It was a wonderful way for us to introduce these stories to our child very early in life--UNDER AGE 2. After age 2, we prefer The Beginner's Bible My Favorite Bible Stories as told by Karyn Henley. I do believe, however, that The Beginner's Bible we'll use at age 2 is recommended for age 4-8. At age 4, we hope to switch to (or use in addition), the Word & Song Children's Bible by O'Connor Elkins and Tim Stephen. It includes the Bible (with quite a few stories/pages) AND includes 5 CASSETTES. It is pretty comprehensive for the age group 4-8.
