Grade 1-4 Walter Wangerin's The Bible: Its Story for Children (Rand McNally, 1981) and Catherine Marshall's Story Bible (Crossroad, 1982) are hard to top, but this new book of Bible stories has merit, too. The scope of coverage for the patriarchs, prophets and kings of the Old Testament and the life and teachings of Jesus is extensive, and there are good highlights of Paul's life and other events in Acts. Some material on the Epistles and Revelation and a tiny sample of Psalms and Proverbs are also included. All is drawn together into a consistent, well-constructed narrative and written in a lively, easily understood style which still retains the dignity of the original. However, a Christian bias is occasionally present in the imaginative amplification of some passages. Sentences of moderate length and a rich but reasonably familiar vocabulary should suit upper elementary readers. Younger children will enjoy hearing the short, vivid stories read aloud. The 365 sections indicate use as a daily Bible study or devotional. Although the text is in double columns, the print is large and clear, and illustrations of various sizes liven every page. The luminous artwork is realistic, expressive and well researched in detail. Scripture citations are provided for each section. Pat Pearl, First Presbyterian Church Lib . , Martinsville, Va.

My sons have outgrown their story Bibles (The Beginner's Bible The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories and On-My-Own Reader Bible On-My-Own Reader Bible (New Living Translation Bible Story Series) and The Young Reader's Bible The Young Readers Bible: 70 Easy to Read Bible Stories ). I tried the Day by Day Kid's Bible (Day by Day Kid's Bible: The Bible for Young Readers (Tyndale Kids)), which I like a lot, but it just seemed like a little much for the 5-8 year old crowd. I was looking for something more mature than the Beginner's Bible, but less mature than the Day by Day. In that regard this book is a success. I think it is the perfect level for my kids to understand if I read it to them (though some kids at this age would have trouble reading it independently. I would say Read-Aloud level K+, independent reading level 3+).
However, the problem is that I feel like the author took just a tad too much artistic license in her prose. I found myself reading it with a stack of other Bibles on hand (KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, etc.), comparing the stories to the scripture and thinking with a cringe, "I'm not sure about that.
