Words and pictures combine to make a classic which millions have already enjoyed. Ideal for a child to read alone or for an adult and child to read together through the year. Review: Wonderful Product - I took this book to present it to my friend's kid. Wonderful Product. Review: Excellent all round!! - Even though it's a Children's Bible, I love to go through it ,myself every now and then. The stories are very maturely told and the illustrations are a rare treat to the eye! I believe that illustrations help in arresting the attention of the child and in keeping them engrossed in reading and wanting to move through the pages over and again.5 stars to the publisher, story writer and illustrator... This book deserves the pride of place in your study/library or prayer room. Every Christian child needs a book like this to introduce him to the bible convincingly. As a parent, I'm very very happy with the contents and quality of the book.

with beautiful pictures. the original book had high quality
Verrrrrrrrrrrry fast delivery!!!!! Came 1 week before the estimated delivery date! About the book, Mary batchelor's children's Bible was my first Bible when I was a kid! It's a very well written, most eloquent book covering almost the entire Bible, suitable for kids from 3rd grade to 7th grade.. with beautiful pictures. the original book had high quality, thick glossy papers. I wanted to get one for my kid.. However this book on amazon.in is copy of that original book. The pages aren't glossy. That was a bit of a let down! But again that's what you will get for 450bucks! I was willing to pay even extra for that original book, but couldn't find it!

Ideal Children's Bible for an older child..or an advanced reader..written in a mature, but easy to understand way.
Actually, I bought the copy through amazon as b'day gift for an 11 year old girl, but I already had one for my 7 yr old son and we're just a few stories from the end in only 10 months because he's always asking me to read more than one story at a time :-) I think its also suitable for an adult who is trying to get familiar with the Bible stories. It's written in a mature way, but still easy enough for children with a broad English vocab. to understand. It's covers a lot more stories than most..even gives an overview of the message of the key prophets - so they get a really good overview of the whole bible. Also, I appreciate that the author stays true to the Bible text, and doesn't add as much debatable interpretation as many authors of chidren's bibles. Definitely a good buy.

Delight to the eyes with beautiful pictures...๐
Perfect book to introduce kids of how it all began. The fact that these true stories are made short and well written support by some awesome pictures makes it a joy for the little ones to read them each day.๐

Even atheists like it!
Iโm atheist and I bought this to read with my 7 yo son. My son attends a local non-faith school where they learn about religions, and this approach present Christianity as one religion among many, covering Christianity beyond Christmas in very little detail. This is problematic because not only is Christianity the State religion in the UK it is so much a part of the culture - you cannot hope to understand British history without a full understanding of Western Christianity, just as you cannot underestimate the impact the King James Bible had on English Literature and the turns of phrase many native Brits still use to this day. For this reason I bought this book to read with my son to start building his understanding of the Bible stories, characters and teachings. It is a very lovely book with each story set to a page or two with just enough illustrations to assist the text without distraction from it. As anyone who has actually read the Bible will know, there is much death, destruction and rape etc in the Old Testament. This book presents outlines of the stories with the worst of the gore and horror removed so it is appropriate for young readers. Highly recommend.

Perfect for reading the story, before you read it in the real Bible.
It tells the story, and then tells where it is found in the bible. I have given these to people to read a story in this book, and then read the story in the real Bible, and a new person will know what is going on. However I do think the Bible is easy to understand anyway without it, but for someone who knows nothing about the Bible it's very helpful to know the basic stories. When I was 19, I picked up an illustrated children's Bible, and then would look at the reference and read it in the real bible. Now I'm 73, and the Bible is still precious to me after reading it for 50 years. Especially in John 6 where Jesus says he that believes in me has everlasting life.
