Forty-two of the best loved and most recognized Bible stories from both the New and Old Testaments are retold by Mary Hollingsworth, each taking up no more than a page and consisting of four or five sentences to hold even the youngest child's attention. All have an illustration chosen just for that story and created by Diane LeFeyer. Each story is followed by a simple question or request such as "how many lions are there?", "point to the crown", and "what can you share?" and the Biblical reference that the summary is taken from so that older readers can dig a bit deeper into the story.
There are perhaps hundreds of children's Bible story books so what exactly makes this one unique? Many are board books which are perfect for little hands to turn the pages. Some have only about a dozen stories to this volume's 42. I think the thing I like best about this particular book is its size and weight. Even the smallest of children could hold on and carry their own little Bible. Even I was surprise by how small it was when it came but it was well thought out by the publisher and perfect for preschoolers and toddlers. Very affordably priced as well.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
