5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Third to Fouth Graders, October 29, 1999

By 

Elaine Smith (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Catholic Picture Bible (Hardcover)

This book was given to my sons, aged 3 and 5 for their recent baptism. I think it is wonderful. It boils down the major biblical stories, both old and new testament, into one page overviews that are around third to fouth grade comprehension. Also the pictures are lovely. I believe the reading level listed of baby-preschool is incorrect - more like around age 10. Several adults I know (including myself) have also enjoyed it as a way to review the fundamental stories. I teach third grade PSR, and plan to give this as a present to each of my students at the end of the school year.

This review is from: New Catholic Picture Bible (Hardcover)

I purchased this bible for my 7year old son as a Christmas present. We read this frequently as a bedtime story. Each story is only one page and there is a picture to go along with each one. I like the simplicity of the wording and my son enjoys hearing the stories as he learns about our faith. I'm even learning more as I read to him!

One of the main reasons I purchased this particular Bible was that another reviewer had mentioned that it was like the one she owned as a child in the 70s. This really hit home for me as I wanted my son to receive the same type of religious experience as I did as a child.

The clincher for me is that my son requests me to read to him from this Bible. He frequently looks through at the pictures and stories in the book himself. He even asks questions about the people in the story. This tells me that this Bible is really catching his attention. That we can have a talk about people and events from the Bible is awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great children's picture Bible!, May 2, 2008

This review is from: New Catholic Picture Bible (Hardcover)

I recieved the New Catholic Picture Bible for my first communion in 1970. I wanted to purchase something similar for my daughter's first communion. Imagine my surprise when I found the exact same Bible on Amazon! I ordered the book and it arrived in just a few days. Amazon made it possible for me to carry on a family tradition. The Bible is easy to read for an eight year old and each Bible story is contained on one page making it perfect for bedtime reading.
