Illustrated Children's Bible (Usborne Bibles)

I have been looking for a Children's Bible for a few weeks now as my daughter is taking her 1st Communion in June 2011. This is an absolutely beautiful bible...the stories are extremely child friendly and it is split into the Old and New Testament. At first, my daughter read one story per day, but she couldn't stop reading it, so she has now finished the Old Testament and is regaling me with stories of how God created the world and why Adam and Eve were the 1st people, Noah and his Ark and even Jonah and the Whale. The New Testament is prevalent in her lessons at the moment, Baptism was on the agenda, so prior to going to the class, she read Jesus' baptism by John. I must admit that I am enjoying reading it as well and so is my mum (who suffered a stroke a few years ago and finds it hard to read a book). The illustrations are lovely and it is the right size for small hands and the right weight. The page marker comes in handy as well.

I,ve bought this bible for my niece as part of her Christmas......so as yet this review is from my prospective. I love this wee bible....it has loads of colour, illustrations and I.m sure will keep her interest! This will be her first bible.....she is 8...a very avid reader and I,m pretty sure it won't be long before she will continue on to a more serious bible....but for the first bible...this will do perfectly! Great price too....well packaged. I don't have a bad word to say for this product.

I purchased this bible for my grandaughter who is seven as she wanted to hear stories from the bible. After reading other reviews and looking inside it I found it would be perfect for her. Each time she comes to stay overnight (which is pretty regular), the first thing she asks for before going to sleep is a bible story. She really enjoys hearing the stories and looking a the drawings, it is a very special time for us together.

I didn't check the dimensions and it was very small, not what I was expecting, but needed it in a hurry so wasn't able to reorder a replacement in time. A pleasant small book though.

really beautiful. A little on the small side so hard for story telling in large groups (but I usually use the storyteller bible for that), perfect for one to one bedtime stories or just for children to read by themselves! Definitely has a God-focus through the stories, the children won't just remember that there were two of every animal on the ark!

Lovely book, very good for the lite ones ❤

Bought this for my 8 year old as she is preparing for her Holy Communion shortly. We both take it in turn reading stories. Great illustrations. The print cold be better but that's just a small niggle. Great for Children that can read.Very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect for young kids. We are doing a gold diggers Bible reading on Friday for all ages so we have many age related Bibles and these are great!!

This is not a bible but more of a story book. It does not list references for each story and takes poetic license by adding information to the stories that is not in the actual Bible. Also, the print is so tiny that reading the punctuation is difficult. Otherwise, the illustrations are lovely.

Good quality paper and themed art work is good.it for above 10 years old .. people

Wonderful
