My review:

This is a good Bible for preschool and elementary age readers. The illustrations are great and the small amount of text is good for beginning readers and families with young children. The major Old Testament stories are included. The New Testament representation is slim with just the story of Jesus and a bit from Revelation. I do like that the gospel message is very clearly presented. I think it is a good way to introduce young children to the Bible.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
