Catholic Book of Bible Stories

The book is very good- the "look and feel", physically well made; the pictures very pleasing ( not funny caricatures) , the stories themselves are very well written and just right for children altho not bad for adults either. I would recommend it highly to everyone. The prayer after each story is a big plus. I bought one but will buy more for my other grandchildren.

I loved the bible stories as well as the quotes after the stories. There were also activities to use with children. I taught a Catholic religious class & all my students loved it. The stories were at a child's level to understand. I have bought this book more than once.

Beautiful Bible for young children. I got this for my 4 year old to begin reading bible stories and he likes them and the pictures. We read one of these stories at the end of story time before bed. Each story ends with the lesson and a prayer. Great way to end our nightly ritual before bed. Highly recommend!

I bought this Bible for my son who just turned 5. This Bible is a nice introduction to the stories of the Bible and is just right for his age and a few years older (4 - 7 years old). The things I like about this Bible are... * Each Bible story is a short 2 pages. Perfect for younger children. * At the end of each story their is a short summary of how to the story applies to the child's life. * After the summary there is a prayer that also applies to the story. * At the beginning of the book are familiar Catholic prayers such as the "Our Father", "Hail Mary", "Glory Be", "Grace", and "Angel of God" (also known as the Guardian Angel Prayer). * At the back of the book there is an activity or extension of each Bible story. An example of the layout of this book is the first story in the book is the story of creation. The summary states "God created everything on this Earth, and then he asked people to take care of his creation." The short prayer reads, "Thank you for creating the world, Lord. Your creation is beautiful." and ends with the sign of the cross and Amen. The activity in the back tells you you need magazines, glue, & paper or cardboard. The directions state to cut pictures of God's creation from magazines and glue them to the cardboard and display it. After the activity is complete you are instructed to ask your child(ren) what he/she/they do to help take care of the world God created. A very nice first Bible for young children.

I like the illustrations and my 4 year old daughter enjoys one or two stories from the book every night for her bedtime story time. We do the prayer at the end of each section together and I enjoy the fact that the stories are no more than 2 pages long and each page has a wonderful, colorful illustration to keep a curious toddler engaged while the parent reads the narrative. The only thing I would change would be to add more biblical stories with a lesson. I would have less about the miracles of Jesus and more about stories that exemplify kindness or fairness or goodness, etc.

Love this in place of book given by religious education department of our Catholic Church. There is a project for each story and an ending prayer. I have three little kids and found this to be better than workbooks given by church.

This book is just right for my 4 year old. The stories are not to long and I like the little prayer at the end of each story. Makes for great bedtime ritual.

My children, ages 5 and 3, love this little Bible. It greatly simplifies the stories, yet teaches little ones a great deal. The stories are just the right length and get the point across before my kids lose interest. Nice illustrations, too--the kids ask lots of questions about the pictures. I love the short prayers included at the end of each Bible story, too!

We love, love, love this book. Every night before bed for a year now since buying this, my husband or I will share a story from this book with our two daughters - ages 4 and almost 2. I love how they are short enough to keep the attention of little ones, but not compromising on theology. My older daughter especially has really retained a lot of knowledge from this book and is becoming very familiar with some of the important members of salvation history. This is certainly not an exhaustive chronicle of every person or story in the Bible, so if that's what you're looking for, check out some other options. But if you have little ones and you are looking to start teaching them a few more details about the Bible, this is what you're looking for! The art is really nice (not creepy or awkward like some other Bible story books have) and the little prayers at the end are just right.

I bought this Bible to share with all of my kids, but my oldest took to it when he was just 3 years old. He asked me to read bible stories from this book every night. He is 5 now and and his younger brother now loves it, too. It's beautifully animated and the wording is very easy for them to understand. The stories are also a page or two long which is great for short attention spans.

I didn’’t like the way of the interpretation of the Bible, it’s so fanciful/fantasy, they should relate with real life.

This is a perfect first Bible for kids 🙏♥ it has beautiful illustrations and my daughter loves it ❤

condition good

The stories are beautifully illustrated and have prepared the baby to be a good boy at church every Sunday.

I love that the tales are from a Catholic point of view

I teach a first grade CCD class and am always looking for literature to enrich my class. The drawings are beautiful!! Probably the best illustrated children's bible I have purchased, and I have five. The disappointing aspect is that the stories are only at most two pages long, this leads to very little content. The only application I can think of is to use this as a starting point for an introduction to the Bible stories and then after find more detailed accounts in another children's bible. I use it for the illustrations. I purchased it as a used copy for about four dollars- it is in excellent condition. I am pleased with the book for the artwork alone.

Perfect for 1st grade

Keeps the interest of the grandkids and helps for their catechism.

Excellent means for a grandparent to instruct a four year old grandchild.

Received right away and was able to use it to help me with lessons during Holy Week . Very happy with this book and will use it all year long !

Awesome book! This is our "go to" book for baptism gifts and kid religious gifts! I have bought 5-6 already. My kids have this book and love it. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Reading this book to my grandson. Stories are well written and pictures are good.

Service was fast. The gifts were perfect for the baby baptisms.

I had bought a different Bible story book and it had a lot of added material and changed some of the true meanings of the Bible. So far this book seems very accurate, tells the stories in a way to keep small children's attention and has nice illustrations. I also like that the book has a page for to/from.

My kids LOVE these stories. This book really helps simplify the Bible. We read one each night - and again, and again.

Easy to read and easy for my 5 year old to understand. My kids enjoy the stories.

My kids love this book! We ready it almost every night thinking of getting it for my sisters kids

Great pictures, nice size book perfect for little readers before bed

My 8 year old loves it I'm very happy I got it for her the story's are short and very understandable

Perfect just like new!

We read this to our children every night. They beg us to read it to them! They love the stories and pictures!

My son is just starting to learn about being a Catholic. He really enjoys these stories and I love the prayers at the end of each story too. What a perfect addition to his book collection. I am a happy mom to see him enjoy this book.

I read stories from this book to my class. Love it!

Momma was impressed when giving to the little ones so they can see and read at their level

Written so young children can easily understand and it has beautiful illustrations!!

Grand daughter enjoys tremendously!

Nice book for my 4 year old nephew to learn about the Bible.

Good quality and great stories.

I read it to my grandson every morning and night; he is 3 years old and loves the stories… I recomme this book to everyone with children or grandchildren..

For my Daughter

Granddaughter loves this bible story book, she just turned 5 and this is great for children her age.

We got this book for our four-year-old daughter. It's perfect for her. The illustrations throughout are very well done and the stories are easy for children to understand.

Muy bonito para niños pequeños

Very good

Great bedtime reading for the little ones

Beautiful pictures and the stories are easy to understand. Love this and it was in great condition!

Very nice and my daughter loves it

My grandson is making his first communion and thought this would be an excellent book for him. I'm sure he will like it.

Excellent book my kids love it. It is simple to understand.

Our 6 year old loves this. We read a story every night.

Great resource for kids!

Very good

Each story is quick to read and gives a very thoughtful lesson to learn.

Bought for my 4 yr old granddaughter. Short stories so they keep her attention.

Was a gift for godson. His mother (my cousin) said the book was easy to read, understand and follow for her son (~3 years old). Pictures in book are clear, text is large. Stories are condensed yet concise to keep biblical stories relevant enough to get the main points across yet short enough for children to hear the story through. Not going to lie....I even read ~100 pages of the book on my own before giving it to my godson! Great gift for children! God Bless :)

This is a good book for very young kids, but some of the content is above them. The Bible stories could be used for upper grades, yet the wording is very simple.

My friend recommended this book was to me, the stories are good with well colored pages. I like the prayers at the end of the stories, and short descriptions as well. The only reason I took off a star was because it fell short of my expectations. The index in the back could have been more useful, but didn't help me.

It's been great for our bedtime routine :-)

This book of Bible stories was just perfect for my five year old grandson. It was age appropriate and he and my daughter really like it.

This is a nice hardback book of bible stories with beautiful illustrations. The inside cover has some nice prayers on it and there is also a page for signing for gift giving.

Perfect love it

This is an awesome book that touches all the main stories in the Bible. My 3-year old loves the illustrations.

thank you.

Granddaughter loves it.
