Perfect Bible for Little Ones,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby's Hug-a-Bible (Hardcover)
Honestly I'm thrilled with this little Bible. Now that my daughter is starting to take interest in board books and being read to (she's 2 1/2 months) I wanted to find an age-appropriate Bible with good theology, short but catchy text, and strong supporting illustrations. I thought that would be a relatively easy task but I was so surprised!I am so happy that Amazon happened to recommend the Hug-A-Bible to me becasue of my purchase of Sally Lloyd-Jone's The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name (an excellent children's Bible but more appropriate for school aged children). With Lloyd Jones I knew the theology would be good so I broke my rule of looking at children's books before buying and ordered it. I was initially surprised (and pleased) at the size of the Bible. I had assumed it was standard board book size but it's actually double that at nearly 12" tall. The cover is, in fact, hugable. Despite this being a solid board book, the furry cover (which looks like sheep's wool) makes the book incredible soft and nearly stuffed animal like. The book also appears to be well built and will probably withstand being carried around by a toddler. Now on to the content. The illustrations are bright and beautiful using primary colors. They are simple and contrasty enough to engage even a very young infant but also colorful and detailed enough to capture the attention of a busy toddler. Another thing I like about the illustrations is that all the people have a nice tan color and have black circles for their eyes. I think it is important to teach that Jesus was not a white man with blue eyes ... He grew up in a specific culture with a specific heritage. I appreciate that even in an infant's Bible the pictures are accurate. The text is wonderful. On every page on the left there are two rhyming verses and on the right is a full size picture. The first verse (as an example): "Little one, who made the seas? Who made the birds? Who made the bees? Who made the sun all big and bright? And twinkly stars to shine at night? God made them all. Oh yes it's true. Yes, little one, and God made you." Every story has a title, Scripture refrence, and then a rhyming story with a message. Here are all the stories: 1. God Makes Everything (Genesis 1-2) Message: God made everything including you 2. God rescues Noah from the storm (Genesis 6-9) Message: God cares for and protects you 3. God helps baby Moses (Exodus 1-2) Message: God cares for you everyday in every area 4. Little David beats Goliath (1 Samuel 17) Message: God helps little children like you 5. God Saves Daniel in the Lion's Den (Daniel 6) Message: God keeps you in His care no matter where you are 6. Baby Jesus is born (Luke 2) Message: Jesus came to be with you 7. Jesus stops a storm (Mark 4) Message: Jesus is Lord of all and he answers when you call 8. Jesus loves Zacchaeus (Luke 19) Message: Jesus loves you 9. Jesus is Alive! (Matthew 27-28) Message: Jesus died to make us new and that is something to celebrate 10. Jesus loves little children (Mark 10 and Psalm 135:4) Message: You are unique, created by God, and Jesus is your shepherd who loves you The one complaint I have about this Bible is that the cover does not detach which means it is spot clean only. I could imagine that after being drug around by a toddler for a while this book will need to be replaced. But. That is a small complaint compared to the excellence of this Bible. Highly recommended for ages newborn-4.

Cuddly and Appropriate,
By
This review is from: Baby's Hug-a-Bible (Hardcover)
Was in search of the most recently-released, latest and greatest bible board book for a baptism gift and was pleased to stumble upon this bible board book. It's covered in a faux sheep-like fabric to live up to its title, which allows baby to do just that -- hug the bible. :) This bible comes boxed, ready and appropriate for gift-giving. The age range, which is newborn to age four, is indicated on the back of the box. This bible is definitely Christian but non-denominational. The length of the book is simple enough to hold a baby's attention with its illustrations. It includes popular bible stories that rhyme, making it easy to read for baby to keep up with. If you're literally looking for a baby's first bible in a board book format that baby can actually hold, snuggle and play with, and (if you let them) chew on, search no further!
