Book Review: Precious Moments Storybook Bible

“Precious Moments Storybook Bible” by Sam Butcher is a delightful book for any toddler, preschooler, or elementary school aged child.

The book includes important lessons, instructions and parables from the Bible in a format a young child can understand. Stories are from both the Old and New Testaments. Each story lists the Bible verses that the story refers to, so you can look up the verses in your Bible as you read. It also includes adorable and sweet full color illustrations of the Precious Moments characters. Each page has a charming border with little animals or objects as well. The colors are pastel, but appropriate for a boy or a girl.

The text is very large, making it easy for a beginning reader to see and follow. It is also great for a grandparent or anyone with poor vision, because the large text makes reading to a child easy and enjoyable.

As a bonus, included is a wonderful section of childrens songs that many readers will recognize (I grew up singing these precious songs in Sunday School). There is also a great section of special prayers that you can use for bedtime, or anytime you want to pray with your child. You can also use this to teach children to pray on their own. The front of the book has a nice record section you can use to record presentation information, the child’s family tree, and special events in the child’s life.This Storybook Bible would make a very nice gift for any young child.

(Thank you to Thomas Nelson for providing me a copy of this book to read and review. I'm a member of Thomas Nelson's BookSneeze program.)
