Customer Reviews

My children love this book!!
It is a fun book to read to my children. If I forget to read it they are quick to remind me. It not only tells the stories of in the Bible so that they can understand but it asks questions during and after it. It also helps the children in prayer.
The best part I like and them as well is the beginning. It asks you to close your eyes. "tell me what you see" Answer "Nothing". Cover your ears, what do you hear? Answer nothing. That is what God had to start of with in the beginning. Before he created the earth. That he created something out of nothing. You then ask your child to sit there and create something out of nothing. My children laughed and said "HOW" I said that God is the only one who can make something out of nothing by just talking that is how powerful and loving he is. Then it will suggest that when we pray we thank the Lord for something that he made that we like today. It is fun because it involves them in what you read. There are many more fun things. The ages of my children are 6 & 7 (girls), 11 (boy) and they love it. I could tell you but that would spoil the book for you. Just get it you wont be sorry.

Pictures are disappointing
My children are 5 and 2. We got this Bible as a "step up" from our toddler Bible that we had been reading at bedtime. I do like the questions and prayer ideas at the end of each story. What we don't like are the pictures. The pictures of David and Goliath are in the wrong place (switched places with the story of David's annointing). So you read about the annointing while you see pictures of Goliath and vice versa. Also, many of the pictures seem the same - just faces. My kids keep asking, "who's that" and you really can't tell until you read the whole story. Another example - Jonah - there's no picture of the whale. When we went to read it and the kids realized we were reading about Jonah, they were all excited to see the whale, but it wasn't there! Instead there's a picture of the worm. There's no picture of the ark, or the parting of the Red Sea either. Maybe this is better for older kids who aren't as "picture focused" as my little ones. We'll wait and see. I will say that I like how Jesus is portrayed in the pictures. If you're interested in this Bible, my advice would be to find a copy you can look at in a store to see what you think first.

I recommend this book to all my friends with kids ages 5-10
Bedtime Bible is my favorite bible story book for kids that can handle stories with very few pictures and lots of text. The stories are descriptive and are "meaty" in character giving children ideas to ponder and great questions to answer at the end.
