Quality has improved compared to previous versions; there’s now glossy paper. However, this version has significantly inaccurate illustrations of the characters. The precious edition (2006 or sometime in the early 2000’s) shows Adam and Eve with “color.” This version lightens up the characters skin, which is completely wrong, inaccurate and propaganda.
Most of the characters also have blonde hair. For example, Moses. Ummm...it’s highly unlike that Moses had blonde hair, especially considering Leviticus 13:30. Come on Zondervan, get it together.
I plan on keeping the book because I’m going to simply color in the characters. Yeah it’s going to take a while but I’d rather show my children more accurate illustrations.
If you are a Hebrew, I’d suggest getting a fleshtone marker or brown coloring pencils and color the characters in. There aren’t many books that accurately illustrate the Hebrews but in terms of the content, this is a nice book hence I’m keeping it but won’t read it to my children until I’m done coloring “unclean” characters in.

Perfect beginner’s Bible for little ones
By CharisseNicole on January 20, 2018
I saw our three-year-old reading this Bible when we picked him up from children’s church one afternoon. I immediately ran to Amazon to figure out what it was and placed the order. Since then he has been completely infatuated with it. This Bible is high-quality, and although the verses are obviously re-written in such a way that children can more easily understand them, they are still true to the essence of the Bible stories they convey. The illustrations that accompanied the verses are well drawn. I have absolutely no complaints.

Thanks for including "Deborah Leads the Way"
By Ang4bargains on June 23, 2018
This Bible gets is right! So glad to see stories of heroic women and characters of color depicted in the pages. Unfortunately so many Christian resources still don't include enough of the stories of admirable women in the bible and they depict all the characters as white European. The characters of the OT weren't white, they middle eastern. So thanks BB for doing a better job than the average resources out there. Love it that the story of Deborah is included and she is a depicted as a strong leader and represented here as a woman of color. Thank you! Like to see you do even more of this! Little girls everywhere thank you--you've made the Bible more accessible to those of us who value the diversity of the kingdom of God! Folks considering this purchase: they also include Sarah, Ruth, Hannah, and Esther and more in the OT--haven't gotten to the NT yet...

Good book for younger children
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2020
Bought it for my 4 year's old girl. I bought two different one's, but for some reason she took this one straight away. We don't reading it every evening, but the times we reading she is listening and asking me the question, likes the pictures. It's easy to read the words is easy to understand, not to complicated. Recommending it's a good book for younger children.

The best kids bible ..for our 6 year old . Especially for new readers the words are simple and clear . Also they can practice phonics reading .Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 25, 2020
Book creates a curiosity to read more and more .
First we saw this book at our friend place . The same day we ordered and was delivered next day .
We started using this bible as a part of evening prayer , initially we asked him to read I story , but he was eager to read more stories . Now evening rosary time had become his favourite as he eagerly waits to read his bible.
The picture are so self explanatory and even myself is more curious to turn to next story .
