Format:Hardcover
Having travelled to my sisters house and forgot to take any bed time reading books for my 5 year old I found this osborne childrens bible on a book shelf in her house. Emma thoroughly enjoyed the stories because they were so well writen with children in mind. The stories are easy to understand and have nice pictures on each page, also each chapter follows on from the previous one, they have some basic reference to the people in the previous stories (this was done in an easy enough way for Emma to point this out). I offered to buy Emma a new book the next day while we were in town but she asked if we could read some more from the bible book.
I think this book would make a lovely christening/birthday present for a small child.

My daughter (3 1/2 years old) was fascinated by the story of Jesus at Christmas and kept asking questions about him, and also about 'Jesus the man'
She attends a C of E pre-school and so gets some exposure to this, whilst at home there is no religion at all.
This gave us a dilemma - we didn't want to discourage her interest but had little knowledge of our own to draw on.
This book has proved extremely useful. It isn't really a bible, but is a collection of stories FROM the bible, both old and new testaments, framed in terms that are much easier for a child to understand, and each story short enough to keep the attention.
It doesn't stop the questions of course ('why were the Romans so mean?') but it does allow us to support her interest in Jesus without having to feel like we are giving her religious instruction.
I have on negative - not enough pictures. Whilst some pages are well illustrated, some have no pictures at all. At 3 1/2 pictures are expected!
Four stars.

My 6 year old told me that she wanted me to buy her a book about God - the bible! I looked through the various ones on offer and settled for this one. It is in simple language and despite other reviews saying not enough pictures, the ones it does have are lovely. She really enjoys me reading this to her and in fact was able to read the creation chapter all by herself (she is quite a good reader though). She made me read 3 chapters last night because she was interested in the way that the people in the previous chapters related to the next generation. It is a good introduction to children and although we are not a religious family, the fact that she wanted to know for herself encouraged me to get this. She is truly interested and the straightforward way in which it is written helps her to understand what she wants to know at her level. It may lead to her wanting to read the full story for herself I hope! A good purchase which I would recommend as an introduction to the bible for those with an appetite to learn!
