Synopsis

In this classic version of the Holy Bible, young children can read for the first time about Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, Moses, David and Goliath, and the life and resurrection of Jesus. Philip Turner has retold these stories with great imagination and clarity and presents the Bible story in chronological order, as a consecutive narrative, giving the reader a clear outline of the Bible as a whole. Brian Wildsmith has brought these stories to life with vivid illustrations, capturing the atmosphere with pictures of bold intensity. Both artist and author have made this book an inspiring and enjoyable introduction to the Bible for young readers.

About this title

Review:

"From the creation of the world to the life and death of Jesus, this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated volume includes simple retellings from the Old and New Testaments. Pen-and-inks with a watercolor wash have the feel of stained glass windows."--Publishers Weekly

"Vividly retold in chronological order to enhance comprehension of the whole within every story capsule. Vibrant illustrations hold the child's interest as the narrative unfolds."--The Home School Digest

"Intelligently conceived and magnificently produced, this retelling of the story of the Bible would give immense pleasure and pride of ownership to a child."--The Times Education Supplement (UK)

From Publishers Weekly:

Taken from both the Old and the New Testaments, these 48 classic Bible stories are beautifully enhanced by Turner's graceful text and Wildsmith's starkly dramatic paintings. Ages 5-up.
