I bought this Bible for my son who just turned 5. This Bible is a nice introduction to the stories of the Bible and is just right for his age and a few years older (4 - 7 years old). The things I like about this Bible are...
* Each Bible story is a short 2 pages. Perfect for younger children.
* At the end of each story their is a short summary of how to the story applies to the child's life.
* After the summary there is a prayer that also applies to the story.
* At the beginning of the book are familiar Catholic prayers such as the "Our Father", "Hail Mary", "Glory Be", "Grace", and "Angel of God" (also known as the Guardian Angel Prayer).
* At the back of the book there is an activity or extension of each Bible story.
An example of the layout of this book is the very first story in the book is the story of creation. The summary states "God created everything on this Earth, and then he asked people to take care of his creation." The short prayer reads, "Thank you for creating the world, Lord. Your creation is beautiful." and ends with the sign of the cross and Amen. The activity in the back tells you you need magazines, glue, & paper or cardboard. The directions state to cut pictures of God's creation from magazines and glue them to the cardboard and display it. After the activity is complete you are instructed to ask your child(ren) what he/she/they do to help take care of the world God created.
A very nice very first Bible for young children.

This is a nice Catholic Bible story book for younger children, perhaps 2-6. The stories are simplified in detail and language so they're easy to understand, yet, as others have indicated, aren't so dumbed down they lose all meaning.
I was a bit disappointed in the prayers included - they are all very similar. I was hoping for a bit more variety to share with my children.
All in all, it's a nice book to share with your younger children and introduce them to the teachings of the Bible.

I checked out a lot of different Catholic kids' bibles and most are pretty lame. I like this one pretty well, and my kids do too. I'd say this one's good for kids ranging from ages 3 to 7. The pictures are good, the stories aren't dumbed down too much, and it's theologically correct (it's even got an imprimatur)*. I also like that each story comes with a reflection and prayer. Overall, an excellent little Bible.
*I wondered, though, when the author says that John the Baptist's baptism forgave sins; I don't think that's theologically accurate but given the overall quality of the book, it seems a minor quibble.

I bought "The Catholic Book of Bible Stories" for my Granddaughters First Communion... She reads one story every night. Since I live far away from her, this is one way to connect.
I was a little disappointed that the books that I had ordered was not delivered around the time that Amazon said they would be...I would have gotten my granddaughter something else...Melbaruth

I have three children ages 5, 4 & 21 months. All of my children love to read this book & I enjoy reading it to them. The pictures are beautiful. The stories are very easy for small eyes & ears to understand. After each story a prayer & the sign of the cross is offered. The stories are wonderful for any religion. Since the sign of the Cross is offered after each story, it may be a little confusing children of other faiths, but still very enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book as a tool for Catholic parents to introduce the scription to small children. A very nice baby gift for new Catholic parents.
