Amazon.com Review:
A smaller, fatter version of Selina Hastings's outstanding edition of The Children's Illustrated Bible, this child-size volume is just right for the beginning Bible student. Hastings retells the stories of the Old and New Testaments in a lucid, flowing style for children's enjoyment and edification. Hastings consulted with a cadre of educators, scholars, and religious advisors to retain the original feel and poetry of the Bible, while appealing to contemporary young readers with clear, lively language. The somewhat lackluster illustrations on every page are not nearly as compelling as the stories themselves, but the variety of other artwork, including maps and color photographs of artifacts, plants, biblical places, animals, people, and architecture, makes up for any deficit there. All the best-known parables and teachings are here, including "The Golden Calf," "Sodom and Gomorrah," "The Garden of Eden," "Jesus Walks on the Water," The Parable of the Talents," and "The Crucifixion," among many others. This volume also includes a "Who's Who in the Bible Stories" as well as quotations from the King James Bible, identified by chapter and verse. Hastings has written several other collections of Bible stories, including The Birth of Jesus and The Miracles of Jesus. (Ages 8 and older)



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great illustrated bible (for older kids/adults)
When I ordered this DK Children's Illustrated Bible, I must have overlooked the dimensions, because I thought I was ordering the larger version(which I had seen in a book store), this one is quite small (about 7" x 5.5"). The book itself is great to have the bible told in story form rather than scriptural, which can be quite difficult to understand sometimes. I wouldn't recommend it for very young children just learning about the bible because there is more reading and information than pictures. Interesting history facts are located along the sidebars throughout the book. Overall it's a nice product.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Bible, except the type is very small
This is a good Bible for older elementary aged kids. There are great stories and illustrations as well as facts about life during biblical times. The only problem is the type face is really small, my guess is that it is about 6pt. type.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dk Children's Bible
I buy this book for all the children in our parish who receive the sacrament of First Eucharist. I bought 40 of them this year and last year 30 of them. The children love the pictures and I love DK products.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect for little ones to tote to church
We gave this Bible to our two and four year old boys for Christmas. I noticed many people commented on the small print. It is true that the small font in this version makes it difficult to use for read-aloud time, but it is perfect for little ones to bring with them to church. There is a larger size available for purchase for those parents who are reading it aloud to their children or who have children old enough to read independently.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Book returned
Returned the book as the writing was too small for a younger child to read.
