Candle Bible for Kids Board Book, by Juliet David and Jo Perry, contains 10 stories from the Bible, including
the story of creation, Noah, Moses, Jesus’ birth and that of the feeding of the
multitudes with just five loaves and two fishes.
With the exception of two of them, each story is four pages long. The
others are two pages and six pages in length, respectively.
The illustrations are bright, colorful and expressive for a younger
audience.
What
I Like: The
stories are short and simple
What
I Dislike: Although
the stories are short and simple, I question the use of some of the words in
the text, such as “astonished,” “wicked,” and “forever.” This book is intended
for toddlers, but these words seem above their age level.
Overall
Rating: Good.
Age
Appeal: 3-5
years.
