Rhyme Bible Storybook, The 20 reviews
Linda Sattgast
Zonderkidz, 2000
Catchy text & GREAT illustrations
We have 3 "Bible books" (as my 2 year-old calls them) thus far. This was the first we bought, and it's still our favorite. The only con I can list is that we want more... more stories. It's selection of Bible stories is far from comprehensive - there are so many more stories to be told... but the ones chosen here are told well!
Why I like it:
1) Memorable text: our oldest (2 1/2) is at the ...

Walt Disney's Classic Storybook (Disney Storybook Collections) 8 reviews
STORYBOOK
Disney Press, 2001
An incredible deal
This book is one of Amazon's biggest bargains. It's a collection of 18 classic Disney short stories, illustrated with restored artwork from 1950s and '60s Little Golden Books and printed on quality gloss paper -- which has silver gilded edges like that of a fine photo album. You'd think it would cost about four times as much.
Its stories come from nine Disney movies and nine Disney cartoons. ...

Disney Storybook Collection (Disney Storybook Collections)6 reviews

Heavy hardcover, but worth the weight
I've become a bit of a connoisseur of preschool kids' books compilations in the last year and this is in my top 3. The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury: Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud and an out-of-print Richard Scarry are the others. I have a 3-year-old, and this book makes it efficient to carry just one book in our mom/dad bag. Yes, it's a hardcover and heavier than carrying ...

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name86 reviews
Sally Lloyd-Jones
ZonderKidz, 2007
The Promised Savior
A fantastic walk-through-the-Bible for young kids. Gives young kids a feel for the important events/stories in Biblical history starting at the beginning but most importantly each focuses on the coming need of the Savior instead of a story just being a story. Excellent way to show how it all ties in and explain what we need and why we need HIM!

Terry Taylor
Lark Books, 2008
Once upon a time… storybooks held a special place in our lives, filling our hearts with wonder. Thanks to this extraordinary crafting anthology we can experience that magic again in a marvelous new way by recreating and reinterpreting the picture book. An overview outlines a variety of structures and techniques, from simple collage to gluing. But above all, these highly visual pages offer ideas and inspiration, with talented artists ...

Disney Press, 2007
Wonderful book - A favorite at our house!
Disney has done it again! This book of adventure stories continues the tradition of combining movie tales with original stories featuring well-loved characters. We especially liked this book because not many stories are repeated from earlier Disney story collections. Stickers in the back serve as an extra treat at storytime, and an illustrated table of contents helps our toddler pick our her ...

Great 1st Bible!!!
This is a wonderful 1st Bible for infants and toddlers! I've purchased it twice because the 1st copy was so "well loved" and showed it. The short rhymes that make up each story and colorful pictures are perfect for a young child with limited attention span. My son is 2 1/2 and has enjoyed hearing the stories since 18 months. My daughter started with this bible as well, and was able to remember ...

Richard Scarry's Best Storybook Ever! (Giant Little Golden Book)58 reviews
Golden Books, 2000
Slight changes in the new edition
I'm very glad to see this back in print, but there are at least a couple of changes between this and the 70's version. First and foremost, the story of Pierre Bear has been replaced with "Good Night Little Bear." I strongly suspect that it was to 'modernize and politically correct' the book. But, I do think that Good Night Little Bear is a better story all round, so no real complaints.
Also, ...

Little Girls Bible Storybook for Fathers and Daughters (Little Girls)3 reviews
Carolyn Larsen
Baker Books, 2000
Best Bible For Little Girls
This is a WONDERFUL bible for little girls! The reason some of the stories are "barely identifiable" as one reviewer said is because many of the stories the author uses are not the most well-known ones. I find this very helpful, as I can read stories to my daughters that they can understand but that aren't found in other bible storybooks. At the end of each story is a short devotional on ...

My son loves this book!
He loves all four of these spin-a-song books. His favorite of the four is Wheels on the Bus and this one. He has been reading it since 2 months old. He is 15 months now and still plays with it!

All kids should read this one!
What a sweet book! I'm 23 and always pre-read any books that i intend to give as gifts to the various kids i know. Usually i find that they eventually turn into scary stuff which isn't too good for the younger ones. When i read this story book i went out and got six copies, one for each of the young children i baby-sit, age ranging 3 to 9, even the 9 year old loved it. There is no violence, no ...

Excellent Children's Storybook
This is an excellent storybook for children and parents too! Patsy Scarry uses animal characters to create stories about the fun and silly things children (and parents!) do. It is one of our family favorites. It makes you feel warm and giggly from head to toe!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star1 review
Playmore Incorporated, 2003
My 12 month old loves this book!
We sing this song at every library storytime and it's my boy's favorite song. He received this book for his first birthday, and although he has over 50 age-appropriate books, it is far and away his favorite one. He wants to turn back to the cover and spin the "twinkling" star all throughout the reading. I'm buying the "Wheels on the Bus" version right now. -Frazier Sebastian's Mom

The Baby Bible Storybook15 reviews

Too Cute
Ok, if you are buying this for a 5 year old, it is too simple. If you are buying it for 1-3 year old, it is perfect. It doesn't include every story of the Bible, then it would be too heavy for them to carry around. As it is, it is the perfect size for my 18 month old to carry to church with her. I LOVE that is has interactive lines that tell baby what to do. My baby doesn't like just sitting ...
