I think this book is a great read for children who want to learn more about the Bible, or who just want to hear a really good religious story. I liked this book because the language is simplistic, easy to follow and engages the children by asking questions in the story. Also, any child could listen to this as a read aloud such as in Sunday School. An example of the language and questioning is on page 147 "God is happy when we pray and worship him." Right after, there is a written question, "Do you remember to pray?"
This brings the learning in the story full circle and helps to engage in the reading. Another thing I liked about the book is the illustrations. They are very child friendly and follow the plot to the story well. FOr example When the book tells about Jesus' birth the illustration to accompany it are of the family, in their authentic clothes and detailed. The main message of this story is to tell biblical tales for enjoyment and moral learning. ( )

Perfect for taking to church or using at home, young children will love this beautifully illustrated first Bible. A Child's First Bible is a collection of 125 of the most familiar Bible passages, from both the Old and New Testaments. Beginning with the story of Creation and ending with Revelation, the text is retold in simple words by well-known author and translator Kenneth N. Taylor.
