Book Reviews of 101 Favorite Stories from the BibleBook Review: nice pictures, mediocre text Summary: 3 Stars
I am disappointed in this story book. While I really like the pictures; I think the text is often times confusing. I think the wording is not child friendly. I don't mind adult language, but I think even important concepts are described poorly.
For example; Jesus is Baptized and Tempted is the title of the story on page 138. I think those are both important concepts and should be dealt with individually. The word tempted is never defined. In the very small section that deals with his temptation in the wilderness; Satan is quoted and Jesus's replies are not included. It only says "Jesus Defeated Satan by quoting the word of God." This just happens to be our reading from last night. I am pretty equally dissatisfied with the text on other stories in the book.
Book Review: Favorite Bible Stories Summary: 3 Stars
The content of the book is excellent with questions to review. However, it is very small and as a read-aloud probably not recommended. School-aged children would probably enjoy it much more than my three-year old grandson.
Book Review: Wholesome Entertainment Summary: 3 Stars
We are a bit disappointed... there are many assumptions for words, labels, titles and terms which require explanation to our 5 year old. Our Egermeier is preferred.
