Dumbed down and dull - By: D. Macqueen, 01 Nov 2007
I am sorry to have to write such a negative review. But we were given this bible as a present for our young daughter by a well meaning Aunt. While we appreciated the idea & present - this book just has too many mis-interpretations of the original text to feel comfortable with. I do not want my child to be put of Chritianity when she realises that romanticised stories peddled by this book don't wash with the real world. The bible is a complex text whose interpretation needs serious scholarship & I am afraid this book lacks the scholarship to be able to translate the stories into a child-friendly format. The point of many stories is so skewed that it makes you wince. The glossy cover illustration is not reallly representative of the content. Most stories don't have illustrations - certainly not enough to hold the attention of a child. The illustrated childrens bible looks much better.
lovely childrens bed time story book - By: , 02 Nov 2001
Having travelled to my sisters house & forgot to take any bed time reading books for my 5 year old I found this osborne childrens bible on a book shelf in her house. Emma thoroughly enjoyed the stories because they were so well writen with children in mind. The stories are easy to understand & have nice pictures on each page, also each chapter follows on from the previous one, they have some basic reference to the people in the previous stories (this was done in an easy enough way for Emma to point this out). I offered to buy Emma a new book the next day while we were in town but she asked if we could read some more from the bible book.
I think this book would make a lovely christening/birthday present for a smalll child.
