We are currently reading this with our kids and are impressed with the quality of the writing and the illustrations. My 6 and 7 year olds especially love it; the 4 year old has the attention span of a gnat when legos aren't involved, so we stick to [b:Read Aloud Bible Stories Volume 1|1089487|Read Aloud Bible Stories Volume 1|Ella K.

We also read the KJV, but these story books are great for me, too, as I've only read the Old Testament once all the way through so I don't always remember all of the stories. Really great for families and independent readers!

I can also recommend [b:A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories: 12 Tales from the world's most famous playwright|38741009|A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories 12 Tales from the world's most famous playwright|Angela McAllister|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1534544053l/38741009._SX50_.jpg|60329678] if you would like a good story-introduction to Shakespeare. I think familiarity of stories is great before you get into these rich older texts!

I may no longer be religious, but many of the lessons I learned from the well-told versions of these Bible stories continue to influence how I act.
