The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories

I purchased this Bible for my 3- and 4-year-old children, and to my surprise, it has become one of their absolute favorite books—they argue over who gets to hold it during storytime! The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, which immediately caught their attention, and the stories are written in a simple, age-appropriate way that’s easy for them to understand and follow. What I love most is how this Bible introduces key biblical stories and values in a way that feels warm, inviting, and accessible for young children.The sturdy pages are great for little hands, and the cover is beautifully designed—it's truly a keepsake. Since we brought it home, it has sparked lots of thoughtful (and adorable) questions about faith and kindness, and it’s created meaningful bonding moments during our nightly reading time. If you're looking for a Bible that’s both educational and heartwarming for toddlers or preschoolers, I highly recommend this one.

This children’s Bible book is beautifully illustrated and perfect for young readers. The stories are engaging, easy to understand, and filled with important life lessons. A wonderful way to introduce kids to faith, kindness, and values. My little ones loved every single page.

Maybe you have a little one at home, perhaps two or three! Maybe you run an in-home day care, or babysit on the weekends. Perhaps you are like me, and are shepherding 100’s of children through Sunday School. Many of my students fit the ideal age range for this product, being under age 6. Regardless the span of children you care for, this Bible is an excellent option for all of the “good news” needs of your littlest companions. I have been involved with a Sunday School program for years, and am currently the director of a large 8 room rotation model Sunday School, so I have flipped the pages of all the popular children’s bibles. Time after time, I return to the Beginners Bible for its readability, imagery and consistent quality.Readability:The Beginners Bible is incredibly readable. Its design features only a few lines of text, keeping big words to a minimum, and bed time stories at a reasonable length. The background for the text is all white, making it easy to read in dim lighting or while you have a classroom of distracting kiddos. Additionally, the stories selected as features in the Beginners Bible are digestible and engaging to read aloud to kids of mixed ages and reading levels.Imagery:The images in the Beginners Bible are colorful, thoughtful and do a phenomenal job of telling the story of God through visual media. There are pictures on every page, each one enhancing the words found below. No more of the scary old testament paintings from the past, the Beginners Bible only features faces and people that kids see as approachable animations. In previous additions, I have been waiting for better and more colorful images or more precise pictures to help children depict and understand the story. With this edition, the wait is over. The pictures are cartoon like, which draws the child’s attention, yet realistic, which helps the children understand the merit of the story being told. Each picture is colored well, and the color scheme promotes a sense of continuity from Genesis all the way to Revelations.Consistent Quality:The Beginners Bible is a quality book. Small fingers can do a surprising amount of damage, but the Beginners Bible holds up to even the most abrasive readers. The pages are sturdy and so durable that they do not rip even after your child reads the Christmas story 100 times. The cover holds its shape regardless of how many times it gets passed through play doh or across circle time. The bible is reliable and comes in at a low price, always around 10 dollars. I have spent upwards of 20 or 30 dollars on a children’s Bible in the past, but none have fared better than the Beginners Bible. The longevity of these Bibles helps me remind the children in my classrooms that scripture is enduring, and helps me cultivate a culture where kids want to consistently return to their favorite Bible stories.I am a huge fan of the Beginners Bible. I have recommended it to friends, parents, and pastors alike. I have gifted this bible to families year after year, and never heard a complaint. They are a staple in my classrooms, and I highly encourage you to make the Beginners Bible a staple in your home or church. There is simply no better book out there when it comes to placing the Word of God into your child’s hands.

This is, without a doubt, my absolute favorite children's book (toddler-age) on the market. I have sent this to so many families and our personal copy is falling apart with love. The stories are told so well, and so easily understandable. My daughter used to have so much of this Bible memorized at age 1.5 and would literally finish my sentences when I would read. The updated graphics with more skin tones, make me so happy, and I utterly love this Bible. I use it anytime I teach the toddler ages in Bible class and plan to continue. I suggest it for anyone that asks which Bible to get for toddlers. Absolutely wonderful for teaching a foundation of faith <3

For as long as I can remember, I have given this "Beginner's Bible" to all new born babies that I know. My daughter had one and the pictures are very bright and beautiful. The stories capture a lot in a few pages. This is a Bible that little ones can understand. I used to read it to her each night then when she began to read she would read it to me each night. She read it all throughout her youth. She is 34 years old now and still has her "Beginner's Bible" at her home. This is the perfect Bible for small children as they learn the basics of the Bible and the love of Jesus.

Good story Bible for young beginners. Super for bedtime/naptime reading by mom/dad, to learn the stories of the Bible. Is divided into Old Testament and New Testament, without books or chapters, just colorful pictures with each story.

Very nice hardcover Bible for young children. They love the pictures and simple message.

Bought for our youngest daughter. She loves the pictures and stories. It’s easy to read to and with her where she understands.
