When I received the Read and Share Toddler Bible I didn’t really know what to expect. The first thing I realized that this book came with a bonus DVD of Bible stories and other features.
I am a parent of a toddler, and I was already feeling good about what the arrival of this book meant. The truth is that I really do like this toddler bible. Don’t be mislead – it isn’t an official translation of the bible. Rather it’s a story-by-story retelling of the major themes of the bible.
Unlike another children’s bible my wife and I had given our children, the way the bible stories were told were more how I would tell a story to my child. It used a lot of words and expression that you would use to communicate to toddlers like,
“One day the people came to the Red Sea. ‘We’re stuck,’ they said. Moses held up his hand. Whoosh! God made a path right through the water.”
As I thumbed through the children’s bible, I also noticed that the artwork throughout the book was wonderful. Not too realistic, but not too cartoonish. One of the things my wife noticed was the little notes throughout the book for parents to help their children understand the story, either through interactive crafts, or just simple reminders of what is the main theme of each story.
