Bedtime Bible Story Book 06 March, 2008 As a previous reviewer stated, there are two books that have very similar cover pictures, but very different text. I own the version that was authored by Jesse Hurlbut. It does not have a red outlining the cover, and author's name appears on the front cover. I was looking for it to purchase for a friend and discovered that there are two versions. When you click to "see inside" for either version, you see the text from the non-Hurlbut version.
The Hurlbut version is appropriate for elementary age and above. It does not limit the daily reading to one page. Most are about a page and a half. It has a very readable, warm tone. It is interesting and gives some historical perspective and understanding that I appreciate. One particularly difficult-to-understand story is the story of Jephthah's Promise. I was impressed with the insight the author gave for this story. I haven't read the whole book, but what I have read does show God as compassionate.
I would very highly recommend the Hurlbut version(*****). From what I read of the other version, I would not buy it. It seems to lack the warmth, and story-telling flavor of the Hurlbut version. If you are looking for a Bible for a preschool child, I think there are many other storybooks with much more appealing color illustrations. I personally like the two by Kenneth Taylor: Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes (for the very young) and Family Time Bible (for 4-5 year olds).
If you decide to buy this, be sure you know exactly which version you are purchasing.

Bible Story Book 05 June, 2008 My daughter is 6x years old and looks forward to us reading a story to her every night. She really enjoys it. Each story takes just a couple of minutes to read, but they are interesting and my wife and I are learning a lot as well. Highly recommended

Great Nightime Read With My 5 Year-year-old 27 February, 2008 My family attends Baptist Church and my 5 year old daughter loves the Lord and is very interested in the Bible. But for obvious reasons, the King James Bible is tough for her to understand. We even bought her a kids version, but it's more suited toward 8-10 year olds (at least). So this book breaks the Bible down into simple stories (no fiction at all) that she can understand. We read 1-2 of them every night before bed. And they're in sequential order according to the books of the Bible.
It's a great read for young kids, I highly recommend it.
