The Lion Storyteller Bible: Best-Loved Bible Stories Retold Especially for Reading Aloud

Rating:
Summary: A Good Place to Start
Review: I have looked at a few "toddlers`" or "first" bibles, but this one best suits our present needs. At seven and five years of age, active, and bilingual at present, my boys enjoy read-aloud books: only if interesting, and in case of the youngest, only with pictures.

Twenty-five stories each from the new and old testaments are retold in a format which lends itself to reading aloud. These well-crafted versions entertain, yet stay true to their messages, the most prominent of which is that , "God is love." Veteran storyteller Bob Hartman uses simple language, (which early readers will appreciate,) but never talks down to his audience. Sweetly illustrated in color and across two pages, both tales and pictures are easy to share. This children`s bible is sure to be a family favorite for many years. Sunday school teachers will also find this a welcome addition to their repertoire.

Summary: Bible made fun for kids
Review: I really enjoyed The Lion Storyteller Bible for the simple, fun and colourful way it portrays Christ and his teachings. Some children's bibles I've come across tends to be rather wordy and plods along. Not so The Lion. It is written in a quick, fun style that would appeal to children, firing immediately their imagination of the message God intends for us all. I strongly recommend it to those who are interested in teaching children God's messages.
