ADAM AND EVE'S VERY BAD DAY: A Rhyming Bible Story the Fall

One terrible choice.
One very bad day.
One promise of hope.

Adam and Eve’s Very Bad Day: A Rhyming Bible Story About the Fall is a beautifully illustrated retelling of the Bible’s story in Genesis 3 and the Garden of Eden—the day everything went wrong.

In God’s perfect garden, Adam and Eve had everything they needed. But when a crafty serpent whispers lies, they face a choice: trust God… or decide for themselves what is right and wrong.

What follows is the first very bad day in human history.

Children will discover:
• how the serpent tricked Eve
• why Adam and Eve hid from God
• how sin brought sadness into the world
• and the surprising promise that one day a Son of Eve would defeat the serpent

Told in engaging rhyme and filled with warm, expressive illustrations, this story helps young readers understand an important part of the Bible’s big story—from the broken beginning in Genesis to the rescue that comes through Jesus.

Perfect for:
• ages 5–8
• Christian families
• church and Sunday school
• homeschool Bible lessons
• bedtime reading that opens great conversations

This book continues the story begun in God the Builder. It is the second book in the Golden Thread Bible Stories series, helping children see how the Bible tells one big story of God’s rescue plan.

This engaging Adam and Eve children’s book helps young readers explore the Garden of Eden story for kids while discovering how the Bible’s big story points forward to Jesus.
