My Review:
This is such a cute Bible for children!  The nine animal friends are depicted throughout to help guide the children to finding certain things in the text are such a great idea; it puts off a vibe of a treasure hunt or game.  Each creature has a certain role to play and that is introduced by their name, such as Arty, or Thinky.  Another feature that I love is the introduction to each book that is given.  This really explains the basis of each book in the Bible, who wrote it, the message that is being presented, all of the background information that will help a child (or any reader for that matter!) better understand what is being shared.  Also there are little memo pad images included with further explanations included on them for a verse or passage.  Overall, this is very child-friendly and makes reading an adventure and a journey, which will have children excited to open the Bible and reads to find out what can be discovered and treasures that can be found along the way.
