A First Bible Story Book

February 1, 1999
K-Gr 2-Profusely illustrated with lively, slightly childlike watercolors of various sizes that divide the blocks of easy-to-read text, these stories are told in shortened, simplified forms adequate for an introductory collection. Old Testament selections include the Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, baby Moses, Daniel, and Jonah. The New Testament retellings include the Nativity, the Flight into Egypt, the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. Another pleasant entry in a long list of basic Bible storybooks.-Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
