Book Description:
The
Read with Me Bible for Little Ones is
the perfect way to introduce the Bible to young children. Featuring simple
language and vibrant, full-color illustrations by Dennis Jones, this
action-packed padded cover board book is a great way to jump-start literacy and
a love of the Bible.
My Review:The Read with Me Bible for Little Ones features gentle tellings of some of the more common stories of the Bible. I particularly like "Jonah and the Big Fish" because it speaks the truth about what happens when you don't listen. In this case, Jonah didn't listen to God's directions. Each story could also be used for a Bible class in the nursery or preschool class. Although the book doesn't mention the crucifixion, Jesus is depicted going to heaven with the assurance that he'll return someday. I see a lot of good conversation starters for three to four year olds. The illustrations are fun. Young children will enjoy the exaggerated features and big smiles. I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.
