Format:Hardcover
I bought this when my eldest boy was around 3. The stories are clear and easy to read, while staying true to the style of the King James Bible; simplified where needed. The illustrations are interesting and vivid. The added pictures and text on related facts, background information and historical context are valuable and also great fun - they break up the stories for the younger readers/listeners, and add to the sories for the older readers. Also useful for homework or trivia quiz reference. I strongly recommend this book. It would be an ideal gift for a baptism or a confirmation.

Format:Hardcover
An excellent book, very suitable for children, but be careful to order the right version - two versions are on sale, one is large and easy for a child to read, or for reading from at Sunday school, the other version is tiny, and would be unlikely to engage a child, and an adult may prefer a different style if they wanted a compact Bible for personal use. I might have known about this had I read previous reviews, or taken care to look at the product dimensions in the small print - but I had seen the vicar's copy and thought I didn't need to research further. So I went for the latest version, and this miniature book arrived a few days later. No good for Sunday school work, but a happy ending, Amazon, bless them, exchanged the book and my lack of care cost me only the return postage. As the product details are so visually similar, perhaps Amazon could add something more prominent to make the prospective buyer aware of the different sizes on offer.

Having looked through many books of this kind in our local bookshops, this was far and away the best: accessible language without sliding into inanity, as many 'simplified' versions tend to; carefully chosen 'clips' from the King James version; excellent historical context and simply wonderful illustrations. My three-year-old took to it instantly. Also serves as an excellent primer for adults who can't quite remember which story comes in what order. However, if you do buy it, make sure you go for the full-size version, in spite of its bulk and weight. The 'pocket' version is simply the full-size version shrunk down to an unreadable text size, as another reviewer has observed. This doesn't work at all, and D&K should know better. But that takes nothing away from the larger version - a lovely book and heartily recommended.

Such small fonts!
I never thought to check the size of the book. I was disappointed to find it so small, especially as the fonts are hard to read. The stories look good, though none on Job.

Magnifying glass needed
Beware! The dimensions of this book are small. I thought this was going to be a nice book to read to my grand-daughter, and that maybe she could read it herself when a bit older. Read more
