I looked over a number of bibles for my 4-yr old before choosing this one. This one reaches a good balance of being accurate without being overly graphic. For example, when the citizens of Sodom come to Lot's door, it says they "told Lot to throw out his visitors so that they could ill-treat them". Genesis 20 about Lot's daughters having relations with their own father is left out entirely. Aside from parts like that, which are inappropriate for children, it includes most every part of the bible, including references to the actual book and chapter. The gospels are understandably told as one continuous narrative. The letters of Paul are mainly left out (mostly not being narrative in nature). All in all, quite a complete bible with most graphic parts somewhat smoothed over.

This is the second copy of this Bible that I've purchased; the first fell apart from enthusiastic use. My daughter loves me to read a Bible story to her each night, and the illustrations in this Bible pull her into the story (though not every story is illustrated; there are usually about 2 stories/readings per page, and only one gets the full page illustration). The writing is fairly straightforward, though I have had to modify some vocabulary on the fly (she's only 4). The fact that there is a story for every day of the year inspired her to want to read "the whole Bible" in one year, which just warmed my heart. We're well on our way to completing this Bible by the end of 2006. When we get there...we'll start over again!
The author has done a good job of picking really important Bible stories to convey. Rarely have I thought, "Why was this included?" or "Why was this left out?"
Understand that it isn't perfect; there are some typos in this Bible. And though I recommend this Bible highly, also understand that the language lacks the richness of Vos' Child's Story Bible or even the Golden Children's Illustrated Bible. But I believe that it's an effective step between the "baby" Bibles and these slightly more mature works that I've mentioned. I'd say that in a year or two, it'll be time to move on to the Child's Story Bible. But this writing style and daily story approach has served us VERY well for a couple of years now, and I recommend it without hesitation to others.

Our family (we have 8 children) has read a number of Bible story books. This one stands out to us as the best. It is clearly written so that even the younger ones can follow well. Also, it is written in an interesting manner that the children always want more. A sign of a real winner! With the stories being so short there is always time to read at least one.

Although we have been using Batchelor's Children's Bible since our oldest daughter was three years old, she has really grown into it as she progressed through Kindergarten and First Grade. As the Chaplain of a Christian elementary school I am recommending it as a Bible Primer for our first graders to begin their own disciplined daily Scripture readings. The illustrations are artfully and historically authentic without being too complex for a young person's concentration. I highly recommend it.

I got this to read to kids. After reading it a few times, I read it for myself and used it in home-group Bible studies. It translates the Bible into terms we understand, i.e. "a double portion" into "the first son's inheratance". It doesn't add anthing that contradicts the Bible, but only what is needed to make the Bible into stories. It has a story for all the action/narration in the Bible. Jesus comes through as powerful, loving, and devine - which is the good news of the Bible. The illustrations are good too (they look more real, not like precious moments cartoons). A friend is reading it to his 1st grader, and she loves it.
