Summary: Sunday School Teacher recommends this Bible!
Comment: I have been a catechist, teaching elementary school age children for over four years. I use this book extensively in my sessions with the kids, because they listen...intently. Rather than many dumbed-down, Disneyesque versions of children's Bibles that I have seen, and rather than the somewhat lame materials offered by our church, the Children's Illustrated Bible connects with kids. It does not insult their intelligence, but enhances it. The rich liturgies of the Old and New Testaments are brought to life with vivid portraiture and detailed factual explanation. Want to know more about life in the Middle East in biblical times? It's there. Want to know what type of wood might have been used in the Ark? Or what mountain range Ararat belongs to?
My students, ages 5-9, are harsh critics. When something isn't real, or interesting, or meaningful, they simply turn off. Too many of the standard cut, color and paste exercises last five minutes with them. But when I pull this book out to read the wonderful stories of Noah, Moses, the Flight from Egypt, Jesus calming the sea, and so forth - the kids listen with mouths agape. They strain their necks to see the beautiful illustrations and pictures.
This Bible is an excellent gift for god-children, for nieces and nephews, for your kids. Even if you are not religious, your kids will benefit deeply from hearing and reading the wonderful tales of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and step up their cultural literacy significantly.

Summary: A nice resource for Bible time with your kids
Comment: We use this to home church our children. I bought it for my 10 year old and he really looks forward to our Bible time together. This is a nice Bible with photos when possible, explanations of terms and situations which might be confusing. My son and I have been enjoying our time together reading through the stories. So far, the stories have followed along in sequence with not much left out. The language is straight forward, non-denominational.
The introduction to the book has some nice detailed drawings of the temple spoken of frequently in the O.T. as well as some other specific Hebrew ceremonies.
A nice addition to your home library.

Summary: type too small
Comment: If this is intended for children, they should have considered the size of the type. It's smaller than what one finds in a phone book, and I don't know how any child could read it without having his eyes becoming weary. The look inside pages on the website are deceptive, as they show the type to be somewhat larger.
