This is an excellent book for a specific type of readers. That's the family in which, if exposed to "The Bible Story" or "The Children's Bible" or a similar collection with gorgeous color pictures, a child will scribble on the pictures. Never despair! "Biblical Food for Kids" is here to help. Just print off a few copies of the simple coloring-book-type illustrations scattered through the book and let the scribbler develop hand coordination on them.

Other readers are likely to prefer other Bible story books for children, but because it's both a story book and a coloring book, this one stands out and would make a perfect gift for any occasion. ( )

Not going to lie. When I first saw this and read the description provided in the Early Reviewer program, I thought this was going to be a cookbook. Like, a normal cookbook that would have recipes from the Bible, Holy Land, Egypt, Persia, etc. Let me first dispel your misconceptions if you thought the same. It is not.

This book also doesn't have a Nihil Obstat, if you're looking for that. IYKYK

All that being said, it was not a bad volume, and useful in the Theology lessons of our kids. I do worry, however, that, when all is said and done, that Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, and First & Second Maccabees are going to be missing from the series. ( )

My 9 and 11-year-old LOVED this audible. We would listen to several stories every night before bed and join each prayer. We would also listen to several stories throughout the morning to start our day. I would hear them share the stories with their grandparents.

We love how each story is short, comprehensible, and includes a prayer at the end. Each story also includes a question to discuss. That is a great time to share thinking and ideas. I recommend listening to it as a family. ( )

This is a series of Bible stories for young children. Each story is about 350 words long. After a story is told it is followed by a little reflection and a short prayer.
In the audio version the stories are between 2 and 3 minutes.

The stories start with the creation and go through to Moses fleeing Egypt. The Bible is faithfully retold. Curiously, the story of Abraham being asked to sacrifice Isaac is missing.

The sentences are appropriately short, and complex situations are carefully handled.

Overall, this a wonderful resource for parents, or older children to read to their siblings. The production could be improved; some graphic design input would be great, as would more illustrations.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this audio book via LibraryThing's Early Reviewers scheme. ( )

This is a collection of stories, 87 from Genesis and 4 from the beginning of Exodus. Each story contains a prayer which links it to Jesus and/or the child's own life. The stories faithfully retell what was in the Bible.

I see parents using this book as a way to introduce their children to reading the Bible. Indeed, they may couple these stories with a reading of the actual verses from the Bible asking the child to compare them. ( )
