5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Bible for children, February 2, 2006

Zondervan has always been known for its excellent products and this is no exception. What a wonderful Bible for kids ages 5-12, and even for adults! Written at a third garde reading level, this Bible is easy to understand and I enjoyed reading the answers to questions that kids (and yes, even adults) ask about God, heaven, and the world around them. The use of blue and red for the print is eye catching and easy on the eyes (and yes, much less boring too) The illustrations are cute and made me smile often. A dictionary and topical index is included. Parents and grandparents, no need to hesitate on the purchase of this particular Bible. Much time and effort has been expended to make it as easy to understand while being true to the original text as possible. I even recommend this to adults who find themselves confused by other versions.

We have purchased this Bible for each of our kids when they reached an age when they could read well. We just gave the latest copy to our daughter in kindergarten as a reward when she reached a reading goal in school.

We love this Bible for the following reasons:
1. The NIrV is a great translation for our kids because it is accurate, readable (3rd grade reading level) and it is quite similar to the NIV - which is the version my wife and I use and the one our pastor preaches from
2. It is a real study Bible -- not a kid's abridged story Bible. Each book includes a brief introduction (who wrote the book, why was it written, what happens, etc.) and contains the full text of the Bible.
3. The text is easy to read and the look is inviting and interesting so that our kids read and look through it on their own (text is blue and red).
4. It includes questions and Biblical answers to a wide range of questions kids ask. For example, "What is a parable?" and "What is so bad about cheating in sports?"
5. It is a Bible that our kids will continue to grow with (at least, until teenagers, probably).
6. It is good for both boys and girls. We have found that a Bible cover is helpful to add that personal touch (e.g. camouflage for our son and pink for our daughter).

In summary, we love this Bible and think it is a great Bible to help your kids gain a passion for studying God's Word...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best children's Bible we've owned, December 5, 2010

By 

A. Carson "Mom, teacher, and book lover" (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NIrV Kids' Quest Study Bible: Real Questions, Real Answers (New International Readers Version) (Hardcover)

We bought this Bible for our son two years ago, when he was 7 years old. He loves it! The text is very readable and understandable, the layout on the page is very easy on the eyes, and he especially loves the insets with questions and Biblical answers. I've found them to be very solid, and enjoy reading and discussing them with him. We bought a different Bible for our older son, who was 10 at the time, and find that he much prefers this Bible to his own. In church, they'll both start out with their Bibles open on their laps, but in no time at all, our older son is leaning over, reading over his brother's shoulder.

My only gripe with it is that both the front and back cover tore off, but that is probably due more to the heavy use it got than any defect in the manufacture. I'd definitely recommend a Bible cover to help prolong the life of the book. He is gradually losing the book of Revelation.

Probably the best testimony I can give is the fact that we are buying a new copy of the same Bible for him as a replacement. We couldn't be more satisfied.
