Best Book for both Adults and Children
Spectacular! You can tell that the authors really spent some time making this book - it is full of full color illustrations. It is very rare to see something so intricately done. Each drawing has such great personality. Also, this book is well written. This book is perfect for a child or even just as a coffee table book for an adult. I'm buying three - one for me, one for my Mom and one for a friend.

Brilliant Book with Fantastic Illustrations
As a child, illustrated books always fascinated me. At a young age I became appreciative for artworks presented to me in storybooks. Now even as an adult, I still enjoy looking at "children's books," for my own personal enjoyment.

Even though many people will see this as a book geared for children, adults can thumb through this book on their own and remember their innocence and youthful days. Anybody can read this book and admire the colourful and beautifully drawn illustrations. Each picture is uniquely breathtaking -- some may say the style is simplistic in nature, but one can tell that so much time and effort has gone into each and every single one of these illustrations.

The actual words of the book, which follow each letter of the alphabet, represent a story about the animal. The book is simple and straight to the point, yet it still allows people to imagine and recall the events surrounding these animals almost as though they had been forgotten and then brought back as something fresh and new. This book is imaginative but educational at the same time, with little "lessons" at the back of the book, explaining and citing where it actually comes from the Bible. Along with learning about these "biblical" animals, these colourful and friendly characters will also help younger children in developing their ABCs. Almost like a book-version of the Sesame Street in my opinion!

This book is perfect for an entire family to take part in reading to their children and teaching their children about the animals of the Bible and the stories behind them. So try this book out, read it with your children or read it on your own, and enjoy the vibrant illustrations representing the "Animals of the Bible."

A fun and adventurous book to read aloud
Animals of the Bible from A to Z is a Christian ABC book for young children. Each two-page spread associates a different animal mentioned in the Bible with a letter of the alphabet, along with a simple color illustration. A fun and adventurous book to read aloud to young people and help them learn their ABCs. "X is for the extra-special donkey that could talk! / Y is for the yearling lamb that gave his life for Jesus."
