Jesus is God’s forever king. I’ve read this to children in Sunday school and it’s a joy to read it now to my toddler.

My children enjoyed this overview of the Bible! We would read it every morning at breakfast. While it doesn’t cover all the well known stories that we are used to reading in a children’s Bible, I loved how it shows you the “big picture” and ties the whole story together from beginning to end. I’d love to read this with them again as they get a little older.

The Good:
The art is nice and my kids LOVE looking through it
I like how they go through God's promise from Adam to Jesus
It's well written, suitably simplified and easy to understand.
The Bad:
I read this book to my 3 and 4 1/2 year old. I didn't find it to be age appropriate. There are some violent stories told that I didn't feel my kids were ready for.
None of Jesus' stories told (No parables at all!)
Recounts None(!!) of Jesus' teaching (that doesn't directly tie to being saved). No Beatitudes. No Sermon on the Mount.

Just finished my second read-through of this with the kids. I love the emphasis on the storyline of redemption. The amount of words per page and the details of the pictures kept my 2 year old interested throughout. Some of the animals are repeated from page to page in the stories as well, so it can be turned into a "seek and find" game too. I recommend letting them find the animal before you read the words. :-)
