Try reading scriptures with your squirmy toddlers at night and see if they last for more than two verses. Since we’ve started reading scripture stories from this cute composition of ninety nine stories from the Bible, my kids have been more and more willing to sit and learn the stories I know and love!
I really commend the author for writing these stories in a way that is easy for little children to understand, but they are not too watered down. There have been children’s bibles in the past where I have not completely agreed with the interpretation of the author, but this edition jives with me and my beliefs.
What really makes this book wonderful are the friendly illustrations! The artist’s style is pleasant, soft, and colorful in what looks like watercolors and crayon. Every character has a sort of large-nose and wide-eyed look, which sounds odd, but looks so friendly!
With almost every story, there is one page of dialogue and narration along with one page of illustration in a double page spread. That allows for 99 stories in 196 pages. The hard back cover has really held up well, and the high-quality pages and printing are very well-done.
I’m glad we got this book back in November so that we could enjoy it nightly for the past three months!
