What is The Beginner's Bible from Zonderkidz?
The Beginner's Bible is a Bible story book filled with brilliant colorful illustrations that make Bible or storytime engaging. Hold the Bible up for your child to see while you read, or have your little one sound out the words and learn to read with Bible stories. It is intended for young children or early readers, generally speaking - Ages 6 or younger. But, don't hesitate to use it with a slightly older child or one who is a reluctant reader. My daughter is 10 and a fluent reader but still surprised me with how interested she was in the colorful pictures and text.
The book comes with an index in the front that lists 48 Old Testament stories and 46 New Testament stories, 94 total. If you are reading the Bible through in a year, you could focus on one new story every few days or read through The Beginner's Bible entirely almost 4 times throughout the year.
The pages also include a colorful map, great for geography studies, and a short Bible dictionary in the back to look up words or add to a Language Arts study.
The Beginner's Bible is bound with a sturdy, glossy cover. The pages are also thick, glossy, and easy to turn making it perfect for little hands.
I received a hardcover, physical, hold-in-your-hand-and-read Bible story book for review. I was familiar with some of the original The Beginner's Bible versions and always liked the illustrations, but this latest one has even more amazing images.

How Did We Use It?
I sat down with my daughter and showed her The Beginner's Bible. She is a little older than the intended age, so I was happy to see her reaction. She was genuinely interested in reading and looking through the pictures. I showed her how it was laid out, with the index and Bible dictionary, colorful map, and explained that it was a Bible story book. Together, we counted the stories and reflected upon how it starts with Creation and ends with Jesus' return, packed with all the important stories in between.
What Did We Think?
I love The Beginner's Bible because it is appealing with the colorful images and large font text makes it easy to read. It is written at the perfect level for beginner readers, but the short text that is big makes it enjoyable for an adult to read aloud as well. While the book makes it clear that it is a Bible story book and not the full Holy Bible word for word, it summarizes all of the highlights that complete the lessons from the Old Testament through Revelation.
