Format:Hardcover
This book is a must in every family library, pre-school library and sunday-school teacher's resource box. The stories are clearly told with appropriate Scripture references, the illustrations are delightful and are great discussion pieces, and each story finishes with an assurance to the child that they are loved by God. Both my 4 and 8 year old children demand this book regularly at bedtime. I look forward to a sequel.

Format:Hardcover
I think this is the best Bible story book that I have ever seen. It is light and fresh, but also insightful. It is beautifully illustrated (as always) and some of the illustrations are really comical.
I was, however, slightly disappointed with the text as it lacks the exuberance that makes some books a pleasure for adults to read and re-read and re-read. But it is a minor gripe - my two year old loves this book and often requests it.
I would certainly recommend it and plan on buying their 'Animal Tales' too.

As with all Mick Inkpen books, the illustrations are wonderful. There is such attention to detail! This book is very popular in our house which is unusual for a religious text. My daughter is six and the text is just the right level for her to read herself while my 3 yr old son likes to have it read to him. They both love the house on the rock. A great book to bring these bible stories alive for young children.
