Great First Bible for Baby--4.5 stars

This book is a great introduction for the youngest of children to the Bible, though I believe that more stories should be included, such as Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, the Passover, the miracles of Jesus, and some of the Parables. (For more stories about Jesus, the author has written Baby Bible: Stories About Jesus.) (This is the only reason why I give this book 4.5 stars instead of 5.)

The book is definately tailored to infants and toddlers, and some of the messages that drawn from the passages are not necessarily ones that I would conclude--they are child-oriented. One example of this is in the story of God calling Samuel. I would think that the lesson learned would be "Listen for God's voice," but the lesson is that you can help God. The lesson from Abraham & Sarah having Isaac is to thank God for babies.

As far as the quality of the book is concerned, it is the sturdiest board book I own, and the illustrations are well done. One thing that I enjoy about this book is that it is interactive, asking the child to make hand and body movements, as well as ending with a simple prayer. The illustrations provide, in some cases, more detail about the story than actually written, so there is room to grow with the child and enhance the story with more explanation from the adult.

The following is a list of the stories included in the Baby Bible:
God Made Everything (Genesis 1-2)
Noah and the Animals (Genesis 6-9)
God's Promise to Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 15, 18, 21)
Jacob and the Angels (Genesis 28)
Joseph's New Coat (Genesis 37)
Moses Talks to God (Exodus 2-3)
Two Brave Soldiers (Numbers 13-14)
Joshua and the Walls of Jericho (Joshua 6)
Samson, the Strong Man (Judges 13-16)
Ruth's New Home (Ruth 1-4)
Samuel Hears God (1 Samuel 3)
David and the Giant (1 Samuel 16-17)
Elijah Says a Special Prayer (1 Kings 18)
Jonah and the Big Fish (Jonah 1-4)
Daniel and the Lions (Daniel 6)
Welcome, Baby Jesus! (Luke 2)
John Baptizes Jesus (Mark 1)
Jesus Visits Mary and Martha (Luke 10)
Zaccheus Meets Jesus (Luke 19)
Jesus Is Alive! (John 19-21)
Peter Shares the Good News (Acts 1-2)
Paul and the Bright Light (Acts 9)

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 and listening, so this gets her involved in the story. The pictures are geared towards children, cute, colorful, but not classical. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to introduce their little ones to the wonderful stories of the Bible.

6 Month Old Baby Loves It

I have been reading books to my 6 month old baby since he was about 3 months old. He absolutely loves it!

Awsome

I love these books, my daughter started interacting with me when she was 9 months old because of the books. They really get the children involved and interested with things to do as the stories are being read. For older children these stories wouldn't be appropriate because of their simplicity, BUT for babies who are learning movements and sounds, it is AWSOME!

Rosy Cheeks!

This is one of several "Baby Bible" board books for children written by Robin Currie and I've sought them all out purposely. The size is perfect to hold while you're holding baby, the bold colors and illustrations stimulate the interest of the smallest ones (my husband and I love the 'rosy cheeks' of all the characters!), and the interactive instruction helps make the stories meaningful. Kudos, also, to Cindy Adams, the illustrator!
