NIV, Backpack Zipper Bible, Imitation Leather, Pink, Red Letter Imitation Leather – Special Edition, May 11, 2013

Pros:-cute as heck-flexible spine stays openCons:-highlighters bleed, but what Bible didn’t bleed?-no margins for notes? Not a con for me but worth noting.Overall:I bought this to bring on a mission trip to Haiti. I didn’t want to bring my special leather Bible for weight purposes and also it’s too special. A lot of low star reviews claim this is for “kids” but literally it’s a normal NIV Bible? I see nothing childish about it unless you’re anti glitter? It’s size is great. I’m bringing some 4x6 photos with me to Haiti of friends from church (pictured) for size reference along with my hand.It’s a Bible and it does it’s job. I love it and would always recommend this as a cute lil Bible for anyone!Happy bible shopping!

Good quality Bible for a reasonable price! If you want an easy-to-carry Bible that feels pleasant in your hands and looks great, consider this one.Though published under Zondervan's "Zonderkidz" imprint, this is an excellent book of scriptures and helpful features for all ages. It takes up little space in a suitcase, bag, or purse; tuck it easily under your arm and bring it with you to church. The font size may be a little small, but it's neat and plenty readable. This Bible is a blessing for one's quiet time with God. Makes the perfect gift for a child, teenager, or adult- or for yourself.FEATURES:Words of Christ in redTable of weights and measures (a shekel is the approximate equivalent of 2/5 of an ounce; a cubit is about 18 inches; etc.)Inspiring list of God's promises in scripture (for when you feel afraid, are grieving, etc.)Collection of "perspectives from the Bible", when you need specific encouragement and instruction regarding temptation, faith, unity, and moreIndex of prayers from the Old and New TestamentsEvent chronology of the ministry of JesusIndex of the parables of JesusLists of "miracles of the Old Testament" and "miracles of Jesus"

I bought this Bible for my 5 year old son and his best friend to take to church every Sunday. It's bigger than picket size but it small enough for them to carry and light weight. The cover feels like leather and the inside has several pages (probably 6 to 10 pages) of full color cartoon like pictures of hero's of the Bible. They both love it. It would be easy for an older child 4th or 5th grade to read and understand. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it lists age appropriate for 6-10 year olds and a 6 year old could not read it on his/her own.

I shopped around for a more feminine looking Bible and ultimately decided on this one because of its smaller size and simple format. I love the color and design, however I am disappointed it says ‘kidz Bible’, as this is advertised for all ages... thus the reason for 4 stars. I may see if I can find a marker in a similar color to fill it in.(The smudge above the hearts on the back was my doing... it did not arrive that way)

After many bible purchases, and unfortunately...many binding breaks or pages lost....I was on the hunt for the perfect bible for little hands. I purchased this bible for my 5 year old and am 100% PLEASED with the outcome. She has the "big girl" bible she was wanting, and I no longer have to worry about her bible breaking from a fall out of an unzipped case or bible bag. I am a Sunday School teacher and I have recommended this bible to ALL of my parents who are searching for the "next step up" for their child. The zipper closure is extremely smooth and the bible itself is well made. ALL LITTLE HANDS NEED THIS BIBLE!

Although it says it's a "kids" bible it's not only for kids. I got this bible for myself and I really like the color, size, and font. I was looking for a small bible to keep on my nightstand near my bed for reading. My other bible is pretty heavy so this is lightweight. I think anyone who purchases this as a gift or for oneself will be very happy. One thing, the font might be too small for elderly people. I showed it to my mom (71) and she said it was small for her liking. For me its great I have no problem with it.

This is a Zondervan compact slimline-format bible (a.k.a. "Backpack Bible", with a fairly nice leather cover. It is not a highly customized version; the only materials other than the NIV text are the 6 glossy color inserts (12 pages/pictures) at even intervals through the volume, each one with a photo of a kitten or cat-and-kitten pair. Each kitten is labeled with an abstract virtue (there are a couple of "Faith" pages, a couple of "Beauty" pages, and one "Virtue"), along with a sentence about the virtue aimed at roughly an 8-12 year old audience. Notably, one of the "Beauty" pages features what may be the world's only ugly kitten photo (a tribute to inner beauty, of course). Given that there are no domestic cats at all in the text of the Bible, one might wonder slightly about the concept of a Curious Kitten edition. It's at least less odd than the matching Playful Puppies (do they return to their own vomit?) or the Wild About Horses (see Psalm 32:9 or Psalm 33:17 or Psalm 147:10).

Daughter needed it for class, but the print was too small for a 1st grader to be able to follow along in class. Bought a larger print and was able to follow along easier in class. Besides that I had looked through this and was exactly as described and would make a great bible for older kids

This is a great little Bible with a soft, boyish cover. It's small enough to carry easily. The only part that disappointed me was how small the lettering is. I have a very young boy who learned to read early, and following those tiny letter isn't easy for him. I wish there was a large print version to make reading easier for the younger kids.

use it now to take notes. the leather is fake but its still looks very nice.

Great Bible

It's everything it says it is.

Perfect for pre-teen and teenage boy. Nice size and great colours! I like the extra boy-centred materials included as well. Bought for my 12 year old cousin and he loved it.
