5.0 out of 5 stars Best Children's Bible, November 9, 2003

By 

Brandon R Frost (Florence, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes (Hardcover)

This is the best children's bible we've found -- and we've looked! It has more stories than other children's bibles, and includes many forgotten ones. Kenneth Taylor will break up longer stories into many different mini-stories. There are questions to ask your child at the end of each one-page story. My children love the pictures -- many include interesting extras like a couple of cats or dogs. The pictures are very clear and realistic. Kenneth Taylor's stories are so interesting and easy for a child to listen to, yet he explores rich, biblical topics that can promote great discussion. The focus is on God and his character -- all aspects of it -- his love, mercy, judgement, holiness, glory, -- the focus is not on the characters themselves. In many stories when a miracle has occurred, he will explain that God did the miracle,not the character. He also asks great questions throughout the story, so it sounds like you are having a discussion with your child. This is a fantastic bible. Our 4 and 2 year old love it, and there are still themes to discuss in this bible as they are older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction to the Bible for Young Children., March 26, 2004

This review is from: The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes Gift Edition (Hardcover)

Kids of all ages love stories and the Bible is filled with stories that children will enjoy listening to again and again. Sometimes, though, they want to "read" on their own and a regular Bible might not be what they are looking for. What they probably want is a Bible with pictures. THE NEW BIBLE IN PICTURES FOR LITTLE EYES is such a book. There are over 150 Bible stories contained in this little book. The Bible stories are compressed into a half-a-page tales which include some questions at the bottom. On the opposite side facing each story is a full illustrated picture that accompanies the action of the tale. This is a wonderful book that young children will enjoy flipping through on their own. It's also a great book to read a few short stories to children at night. Best recommended for children ages 1 1/2 to 7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a Child's Attention Span, November 1, 2004

By 

Veggie Vixen (Way Down South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes (Hardcover)

A short summary of major Bible stories is followed by questions and a brief prayer. Young children can get through this well as it is age-appropriate and doesn't run too long to hold a little one's fleeting attention span. Some of the questions need to be rephrased so as to be open-ended and not yes or no, but this is easy enough. This is the best children's Bible we have EVER found. It is the most in-depth and age-appropriate.
