It's hard for me to find children's versions of scripture that I actually like, but we all really loved this one. The illustrations made me want to linger a little longer on each page. The stories were well chosen and well written with the focus always on Jesus and his personal love for the reader. It kept the spirituality of the scripture while making it more accessible to children. I liked reading the stories first from here and then from the Bible to help with comprehension. That way, the kids were already familiar with the basic storyline so we could focus more on the beautiful language of the Bible and the deeper meaning of the passages we read.
