Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Knowing how much children delight in the sounds of rhymed words and phrases, Sattgast casts selections from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament into rhyming language aimed at helping children to remember each story's content as well as its religious message. For example, her version of why God commanded Noah to build the ark reads, in part: "God was very/ very sad,/ For all the people/ Were so bad./ They would cheat,/ And they would lie./ They would make their sisters cry." As for the conversion of Zaccheus in Luke 19, Sattgast writes: "But little Zaccheus/ Was changed that day./ All of the people/ Were happy to see/ That he wasn't the same/ As he used to be!" Goffe's comic strip-like watercolor illustrations accompany each rhymed story and feature smiling animals and wide-mouthed humans. Although Sattgast's rhymes are rather simplistic and uninspiring, many children ages 3-8 will find themselves repeating these stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite asked for over & over again by my 2 yr. old..., June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rhyme Bible (Hardcover)

My son who isn't quite 2, loves this book and insists on 2 or 3 stories from it each night. I truly feel that he is gaining an understanding of The Word, in a comfortable rhyme format, and will be more receptive to the more traditional Children's Bible when he is older. I am giving this book as a wonderful gift to my God Daughter, and I am confident that she will enjoy it as much as my son is enjoying his.

5.0 out of 5 stars Age appropriate, well written, and biblically accurate-, December 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rhyme Bible (Hardcover)

An outstanding resource for Christian Families. The author retells several well known, and some lesser known bible stories in an easy to read rhyming style. Very useful in helping children learn and understand some of the more difficult biblical concepts, i.e., crucifixion and ressurection. We LOVE this book.

Original Bible Stories(unchanged) told in rhyme form. A marvelous way to teach children God's stories, and a marvelous way for them to be able to remember the stories. Simplicity in the eyes of a child. Wonderful, wonderful! Wish I had this when my children where samll.
