I bought this for my 9 yr old daughter. She enjoys using it because the weekly format makes it so simple. Each week has a Bible verse to memorize. Each day a fragment of the verse is given so as no to overwhelm. After each chapter/story there is a Prayer starter. It has received an Imprimatur from the Nat'l Conference of Bishops as well as Canadian Conference of Bishops. There is also a page containing the basic prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be) and mentions the use of the Rosary. This Bible is for anyone who finds a traditional Bible overwhelming. You have to start somewhere!

Very well done. Uses actual bible excerpts from NRSV in a very effective way. Nice, colorful pictures. Very durable pages. High quality materials. Covers a lot of the bible material.

My 7 and 9 year old really enjoy this Bible. The illustrations are wonderful and the text is simple enough for them to understand.

This is very well done. The story selection is very good and there is a picture on every page. Most kids age 3 and up will remain engaged. The illustrations are very realistic, reverent and not "stylized" which is very important to me as a Catholic who is utterly sick of the cartoonish pictures of Our Lord, the Saints and other Biblical personages.

There's also a Bible-verse memorization program on the bottom of each page. A little bit of each verse is introduced at a time for easier memorization.

The only criticism I offer is for the binding. The book has basically fallen apart, and that's a shame. Of course, that could be due to my kids being extra rough on books, but I doubt it.

These Bibles were purchased by our Altar Society as a gift for the first and second graders receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion this year. As a Religious Education teacher, I wanted a Bible the children could easily turn to to find the day's Gospel message, so we could discuss it before Mass. I found the Bibles to be easy to read (but not simplistic) and phrased is a way the childred could understand. I have since purchased another for a parishoner who wanted one for her granddaughter.

I was on a search for a bible that my boys could read. I looked for ones that I had when I was a child. The ones I had were very expensive and read more like a story. This one is so much better. Its so affordable and not indimitating by its size. It even has a glossary of all the names mentioned and who they are. Its beautiful to read and look at. I hope my boys hang on to these to pass down to thier children.

Excellent children's Bible. You read a page a night for 5 nights and in 1 year you have cover all the important Bible stories. Includes teaching aid for parents.

This is just what we were looking for for a chile under 9 or 10

The book arrive on time. It was in better conditions that I expected. I would purchase from this company again.
