"Big Red" Holy Bible

I requested this Bible from Book Sneeze initially because I thought it was a picture Bible for real little kids. The description said that it was a Bible with comic book style art, which i thought was pretty cool.

Unfortunately, when it arrived, I found that it was simply a children's translation of the Bible with a few pictures interspersed. It also has a simple paperback binding, which I don't feel would hold up well under the use that a Bible would receive - especially since it's meant for children. This wasn't what I was looking for.

I would recommend this book for kids between 8 and 12, who already have a good reading comprehension level. The translation is quite good, and the pictures are lively and interesting, done in a 3D style which would be appealing for children of that age.

If you're looking for a conventional "picture Bible," then don't go with this one. However, if you're looking for a good children's translation of the Bible to use in a Sunday school, or for reading with your children, this could be just what you're looking for.
