I really enjoyed reading this selection of bible stories with my daughter. The stories are easy to read, with beautiful, colourful illustrations, and the stories are broken down into simple writing that children can understand. We learn about Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, baby Moses and more. This would make a lovely gift for any child who is interested in learning more about the bible. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Difficult to recommend as the important aspects of creation are all jumbled together. The artwork is marvellous and the structure is well thought out.

This bible is really lovely looking and the stories are very clearly written with children in mind! I think my nearly 3 year old will enjoy me reading this to him, the text is easy to understand and the illustrations are very beautiful, with muted colours and showing real emotions on the people in the drawings.

The copy I got to review only did the first 10 chapters of the old testament, so I can not speak about the rest of the book, nor if the New testament has a different feel to it, however I’m going to assume that it stays the same, which makes this a very neat children’s bible. I like that the book will have a hardcover, as these seem to last longer and I find them more beautiful looking in the bookcase.

This book is lovely for anyone to read, even if you are not Christian, the stories are beautiful and it’s written in a manner that it can be used to teach children about this religion or as life lessons, as the stories explain about actions, consequences, good and bad things to do, etc.

I really enjoyed reading this bible myself and have put a hold on the first edition (as my library has this one in their possession) so that myself and my toddler can enjoy the stories as soon as it becomes available.
