Your article appeal to my in two ways. Educating my kids in the ways of the Bible is close to my hart and I have been in the book selling business for a while. I know how difficult it could be to find a suitable bible book even if you have access to hundreds of books. It is an impossible feat to go through all of the books and then to sellect one. Your review of the Random House Book of Bible Stories is great and is obviousely supported by the comments you received. This must be great book. Thanks for the post.

I teach the 3 and 4 year olds at my church, and have been looking for something like this. I really loved this review and think this is something I am going to pick up right away. We are just finishing our lessons on The Fruit of the Spirit, and I have been looking for some teaching tools for new lessons. This is a really great find for me, so I owe you a huge thanks!

I really like this collection; thanks for the other recommendations! Amy - I can picture the book we had, it stayed on the hall bookcase, not mixed in with my books. I wonder if my parents still have it ... rhapsody - I think it's easier for the kids to grasp and accept these stories than adults (i.e., ME!)

I'm now fondly remembering my yellow and red My Book of Bible Stories. We moved around so much as a kid that it got lost in the shuffle and I have wanted something similar for my son. I think this may be the one for us. Thanks for the review. I’m now fondly remembering my yellow and red My Book of Bible Stories.

(And I wish I knew what happened to it!) I remember how nice I thought it was that I had my own little version of these stories to which I could relate and which I could understand.

Stories are easy to read and understand (well, theortically ... miracles are tough to grasp!), and the illustrations are gorgeous! Sandy - I forgot my "about the author" paragraph, thanks for the reminder! Oh, and I'm NOT as good as I make myself sound ... I avoided teaching for years (but found I really like it, this age group is fun!), and I don't teach in my kids' classes (my younger two would cling and it wouldn't be an effective class). Yes, do let your kids' librarian know about the book! Julie – it is beautiful.

And I am sure that the fact that Mary Pope Osborne even makes the stories more special in some way...she is such a beloved author. I don't think I knew you taught Sunday School. You are a hero!
