Illustrated Children's Bible, The (Leatherbound Children's Classics) by Henry A. Sherman and Charles Foster Kent (2012) Leather Bound Leather Bound – January 1, 2012

We wanted something that would be a lasting keepsake for our granddaughter's first Bible for her first birthday. This book is beautiful in presentation. It's a thick one with gilded pages. They have taken the accounts of the Bible and condensed them into stories of a length that will keep a small child's attention. While it has beautiful illustrations, I wish it had more to better provide a visual for each Biblical account, but all in all, it certainly is worth the purchase price and makes a wonderful gift and keepsake.

This book is simple in style, complete in context and just what ( I believe ) the LORD would want a children, whether new to reading and studying the bible or blessed by many years of learning through reading, to have. Any child would benefit greatly by having this bible to study from.

Fantastic!

I bought this book for my mother, who has Alzheimer's, but I find that I too like the easy flow of the language and the storytelling nature of the narratives. Bible reading is interesting and fun again! The only drawback for me is the lack of color illustrations for the stories. A good buy all around as far as I'm concerned.

A beautiful Bible for your young ones . . . great illustrations . . . and the storiesare written simply for the young to learn their catechism.

Wonderful stories for a growing toddler. I have started my 1 year old on bible stories just the way my husband and I grew up hearing them. I would recommend this bible set better than any other books out there.

Beautiful looking book, but the writing style for the stories isn't awesome and there aren't as many illustrations as I would like. I got it (mostly) for my five year old and it wasn't one that kept his interest - though it does seem like a beautiful heirloom quality book... we preferred Janice Emmerson's 'Complete Illustrated Children's Bible' (also available on Amazon, I ordered both books at the same time) for it's beautiful and plentiful pictures and stories. My son carries that one everywhere and tells everyone at church they're his scriptures. This copy stays, very prettily, on a bookshelf.

Sometime the bible is hard to understand. This childrens' version is easy to read, understand and explain. I'm in a bible study and believe it or not I bought it for me.
