Before I begin I do want to clarify that the book we have is The Beginner's Bible for Toddlers. (It is the board book and not the paper paged book that has many more stories in it.)As I read this book to my 4 month old son I really enjoyed the illustrations and the abbreviated stories from the Old and New Testaments. I got to the end of the book only to notice that the most important truth of the whole Bible was missing... This book skipped from the healing of the blind man to Jesus' ascension into heaven. I was amazed that the editors of this book would actually skip the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. I understand that Jesus' death can sound offensive and isn't pretty but even if they skipped the violent and gory parts of the crucifixion our children NEED to know the truth about Jesus. This is incredibly unacceptable because the most basic and fundamental story/truth of the whole entire Bible is that of Jesus dying for our sins and being raised on the 3rd day..."For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with Scriptures..." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
So disappointed with this adorable looking Bible because it leaves out Christ's death & resurrection, which is the entire point of the Bible . . . still looking for a toddler Bible that looks as nice as this one does but is doctrinally correct
We recently gave this Bible as a 1-year birthday gift for a friend's daughter. She loved that she could carry it with the handle (most 1-year olds are into carrying stuff as they walk around). Nice color pages and short stories make it something she can enjoy now and also grow into over the next two years.
my son likes this bible. i read an earlier review that said the board book version omits jesus's death; which, yes, is very important. however, this toddler version got it right. keep in mind: it's not a full bible, just bible stories. they are placed roughly in the order of a "real" bible.
This is a great way to introduce tots to The Word; be aware that this is VERY basic introductions to some of the stories in the Bible. It lacks some of the harsher aspects of these stories, which might be difficult for some or perhaps most little ones to comprehend at this point in their lives.
I bought this bible for my own son for easter but gave it to him early, as I always do. He is 2 1/2 and he loves it. The pictures are fun and full of color, not like most bibles esp. children's bibles!! The stories are short and easy to read and remember. Learning about the bible should be fun , not a chore, and this book is a great way to get started. I'm buying a copy for a friend's daughter next!!
This is a great book for young children to start with.Easy for Moms and Dads to read and show pictures.
This is a great book. I think this book is most suitable for 3 & up but my 2 year old enjoys it. I just read a few stories in it at a time & come back to it another night. A built in bookmarker would be nice since it's more for continous reading over time. I do recommend it though!
