The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories Hardcover – Illustrated, October 4, 2016

Maybe you have a little one at home, perhaps two or three! Maybe you run an in-home day care, or babysit on the weekends. Perhaps you are like me, and are shepherding 100’s of children through Sunday School. Many of my students fit the ideal age range for this product, being under age 6. Regardless the span of children you care for, this Bible is an excellent option for all of the “good news” needs of your littlest companions. I have been involved with a Sunday School program for years, and am currently the director of a large 8 room rotation model Sunday School, so I have flipped the pages of all the popular children’s bibles. Time after time, I return to the Beginners Bible for its readability, imagery and consistent quality.Readability:The Beginners Bible is incredibly readable. Its design features only a few lines of text, keeping big words to a minimum, and bed time stories at a reasonable length. The background for the text is all white, making it easy to read in dim lighting or while you have a classroom of distracting kiddos. Additionally, the stories selected as features in the Beginners Bible are digestible and engaging to read aloud to kids of mixed ages and reading levels.Imagery:The images in the Beginners Bible are colorful, thoughtful and do a phenomenal job of telling the story of God through visual media. There are pictures on every page, each one enhancing the words found below. No more of the scary old testament paintings from the past, the Beginners Bible only features faces and people that kids see as approachable animations. In previous additions, I have been waiting for better and more colorful images or more precise pictures to help children depict and understand the story. With this edition, the wait is over. The pictures are cartoon like, which draws the child’s attention, yet realistic, which helps the children understand the merit of the story being told. Each picture is colored well, and the color scheme promotes a sense of continuity from Genesis all the way to Revelations.Consistent Quality:The Beginners Bible is a quality book. Small fingers can do a surprising amount of damage, but the Beginners Bible holds up to even the most abrasive readers. The pages are sturdy and so durable that they do not rip even after your child reads the Christmas story 100 times. The cover holds its shape regardless of how many times it gets passed through play doh or across circle time. The bible is reliable and comes in at a low price, always around 10 dollars. I have spent upwards of 20 or 30 dollars on a children’s Bible in the past, but none have fared better than the Beginners Bible. The longevity of these Bibles helps me remind the children in my classrooms that scripture is enduring, and helps me cultivate a culture where kids want to consistently return to their favorite Bible stories.I am a huge fan of the Beginners Bible. I have recommended it to friends, parents, and pastors alike. I have gifted this bible to families year after year, and never heard a complaint. They are a staple in my classrooms, and I highly encourage you to make the Beginners Bible a staple in your home or church. There is simply no better book out there when it comes to placing the Word of God into your child’s hands.

I bought this children’s Bible for my daughter, and it’s fantastic! The illustrations are bright and engaging, and the language is simple and easy for her to understand. It presents Bible stories in a fun way while staying true to the original text. She loves it, and it’s a great way to introduce kids to the Bible. Highly recommend!

Great book to help little ones learn the Bible stories. My 2 year old loves the pictures and asks us to read the stories over and over. This has LOTS of stories that we both enjoy reading together. She will enjoy this book for years to come. Would make a great gift as well!! Love it!

This book is beautifully done!! It's hard bound, the pictures are colorful and the colors are bright and brilliant!! It is written true to firm but at a child's level with large bold letters. I love it!!

Love this Bible for littles. I used this 30+ years ago teaching Sunday School. The stories are short and get the main point across. The pictures include bright colors and keep kids interested.

Classic Children’s Bible for kids! Love the many different stories. I would recommend this Bible to anyone looking for a good Children’s Bible with easy to read and understand stories for children.

I ordered this Bible for my niece and nephew. My boys who are now teenagers loved this Bible! They especially loved the story of David and Goliath. It comes to life for them and has well Illustrated pictures. This is a great beginner Bible.

The media could not be loaded. This is a wonderful beginners Bible! It has pictures and lots of stories from many different old and New Testament Bible stories! I find it is very accurate yet easy to understand. The pictures supplement it very well and are kid friendly. It does have Bible pages so make sure your child can use those types of pages otherwise they might be able to rip them. I get these for baby shower presents when I find them on sale on Amazon!
