Zondervan NIrV Read with Me Bible, Revised and Updated Hardcover

The beloved Read with Me Bible has been updated with even more artwork, a new typeface, and a fresh, eye-catching cover. Like the original, this new version features separate Old Testament and New Testament sections, and contains 106 Bible stories based on the New International reader's Version (the NIrV--"The NIV for Kids!"). Parents and kids alike are instantly drawn to the Read With Me Bible for its outstanding, action-filled artwork by Dennis Jones. You'll love the way kids respond to the bold, humorous depictions of Bible characters, and easy-to-understand stories. Inside you'll also find a glossary of unfamiliar words.

Reading to young children helps foster strong emotional bonds. With this beloved Bible storybook, you'll be spending time with your little ones, strengthening those bonds between you, as well as giving them a foundation to develop their own relationship to God. Discussing the stories and interacting with the pictures also helps kids internalize the Word of God. Younger children will enjoy studying the images and watching the words as parents read them, while early readers may want to read the stories on their own. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. Measures 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 1 1/4."

I purchased this book for our son, who is 4. The pictures keep him interested and the stories are short and to the point. It isn't as in depth as Bibles for older children but, as my husband says, it keeps your child engaged. It's not too complicated so they can learn a little from each story in the Bible. One aspect that I like it is breaks the Bible up into Old and New Testament sections. I'm happy with this purchases and think it's a great first Bible for our son.

My granddaughters were so excited to each have their own Bible. I suggested they leave one here at Nana's house and take one home, but NO, they both wanted to have their own to take home. They loved it. the pictures are beautiful and brings a reality to the stories. Plus they can read it on their own too and I pray that it will touch their Dad. They were so excited to tell their Dad, "God's real, you know, Dad".

I'm very sure this will be loved by my grandchildren, and I am very happy to have it for them. I will also be looking for a children's Bible, or any Bible with pictures, that conveys somewhat less of the modern "cartooned" styled drawings, and some of the more sober and awesome renderings of "the old days." I think it would take both styles to communicate more of the depth of our relationship to our Lord to these young and impressionable minds. Thank you.

Our family loves this Bible. This was the first Bible all three of my daughters used. My youngest reads it everyday at lunchtime. We love the division of the Old and New Testaments, along with the artwork, and just the right amount of detail for little ones. My only complaint is the story of Esther (my daughters' all-time favorite) is not in there. So grateful for the biblical foundation it's provided for my girls!

This Bible is great for the preschool child. It has wonderful illistrations and covers a large abount of Bible stories. It is a great tool for showing where the Bible story is located, and how it fits into the whole story.

I bought this bible for my 3 year old. I like the fact that it contains stories from both the old and new testament. The text is also appropriate. I hope that this bible will last us until she is 6 or so. I have been so impressed with it that I have shared it with friends and family.

We bought this for a gift for my pre-K age child. He seems to like the pictures and the details of the stories are just enough to get him to ask questions. I like to discuss the stories with him and that gives us a good starting point.

The Read With Me Bible is my 5 year-old daughter's favorite Bible. The pictures are eye catching and colorful. the NIrV language is super for this 4 to 8 age group. It paraphrases enough for the kids to learn the stories and still grasp the higher concepts. Yet, is specific enough that it contains the quotes and memory verses we want our kids to know. Looking for a Bible that bridges the gap between toddler and study versions? This is it.

My 5 year old and 3 year old girls are really attracted to this Bible. The illustrations are compelling and I like the fact that actually NIrV verses are used to tell the stories. I just wish there were more stories inside.
