The stories are well written and the illustrations lovely, and there is a lot of background information. With nearly 300 beautiful two-page illustrations to capture even the youngest child's imagination and heart, this vast collection of the Bible's most-loved stories is just right for sharing together or reading alone throughout the day. A graduate in modern foreign languages, Janice Emmerson is the bestselling author of The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible, The Jesus Bible for Kids, and The Illustrated Bible for Little Ones.

This Bible also gives the child the feel of the times, like showing plants, utencils, and statues that are mentioned in the story. The brightly coloured, detailed illustrations in this wonderful children's Bible bring every story to life. The Complete Illustrated Children's Bible is the perfect picture and storybook for young ones and an ideal first reader your children will treasure. The somewhat lackluster illustrations on every page are not nearly as compelling as the stories themselves, but the variety of other artwork, including maps and color photographs of artifacts, plants, biblical places, animals, people, and architecture, makes up for any deficit there.An uplifting and wonderful collection, this title is the perfect first introduction to the Bible for young children. Very young children will love looking at the colorful pictures while the book is read aloud, while older children will enjoy reading the stories for themselves.

I love this so much because it's not crowded visually, and very succinct so as to keep a child's attention. I was taken to church as a child, was bought a bible and read it again and again, so my knowledge of the bible is good.The illustrations and text are interesting and accurate, it's a wonderful bible for the older children to read on their own, my son is almost ten and loves it.
