The books look fun, they are a present for my granddaughter.

No to bad

Bright pictures on good quality paper , also short stories not longer than two pages. Perfect material to get a young boy reading bible stories on his own!

Needed to let the grandchildren know we are thinking about them even though we can't see them in person. These books seem a good way of reminding them about the bible lessons they have heard in the past. We hope and pray that they are finding them interesting enough to use them well!

I bought it for my grandson, however, I was a bit disappointed to find that he will need a children's bible to be able to finish reading the stories.

The illustrations in the book are good and I think the amusing cartoon style pictures will appeal to boys, maybe girls too. Don't mean to be sexist. I like the fact that all the pages are coloured as well as the illustrations and the smooth paper it's printed on, as this makes the book look appealing. I haven't read the whole book. I intend to give it as a prize but the bits I have read tell the bible stories in a straightforward but interesting manner. I think it would be a good read for KS2 aged children. The chapters are short which I think make it an easy read. I only haven't given it 5 stars because I think for the extra star I'd actually have to know what the child thought about it having read it.

I chuckled at the first sentence of the Introduction which bode well for the rest of the book! The Introduction is essential reading because it explains all sorts of things, it is not just funny, it matters. Tantalisingly each story ends on a cliff-hanger. You have to go to your Bible and read the crunch lines for yourself – very clever! Someone my age is supposed to know those endings already, but I found myself, story after story, looking the endings up in my Bible. Don’t worry what translation of the Bible you are looking at, they all say the same, they just say it in different ways, though some are easier to understand than others. The colourful cartoon illustrations add to the fun, but don’t forget there are serious messages here too. You’ll get indigestion if you try to read them all at once: take them a day at a time and think about what you have read. Excellent.

I bought all four books in this series for my children to read at bedtime. They are just perfect for my 9,8 and 7 year olds. They are more grown up than a children's story Bible but the stories are short enough to hold their attention. I also liked the way they gave you a Bible verse to look up to encourage them to find their way around the Bible and to see that these stories did actually come from the Bible. I'm really pleased with them and so are my children.
