101 Bible Stories

From creation to Revelation, 101 Bible Stories takes some of the most well known and loved stories from the Bible (with scripture references if you want to read the story in its entirety within context) and puts them into an easy to read and understand format for children with some beautifully created and detailed illustrations by Dan Andreasen.  The text is designed to be read by children who are independent readers with my recommendation starting at about 2nd or 3rd grade due to the complexity of some of the wording.  However, each story is just one page or a bit more so could effectively be used with both readers and a read aloud to non-readers alike.

I can still see the book my mother read to my little sister every single night before bed.  I feel strongly that every child should have the tools to discover God's Word for themselves. I am torn about the format of the book's appearance looking more like one that I would read to a non-reader and yet the publisher is advertising it to be designed for independent readers.  I would encourage you to look at the book yourself to determine if your reader child would think it looks too much like a younger children's book but I would definitely use it as a read aloud bedtime story resource.

I did receive the book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to leave a positive review.
