Ok. So you're beyond silly little children's storybook Bibles with cartoonish illustrations and bullet points of story lines and parables. You want a good bit more meat to your scripture and Bible stories, but your kiddo is not quite read to be set loose in a youth Bible of full scripture. The next best step is either [b:The Golden Children's Bible|639549|The Golden Children's Bible|Joseph A. Grispino|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348312980s/639549.jpg|625762] or [b:Egermeier's Bible Story Book|5767211|Egermeier's Bible Story Book|Elsie Egermeier|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347965499s/5767211.jpg|221539]. While the Golden Children's Bible is full of classic illustrations much like Egermeier it is very large in size, a good lap size and Egermeier is more toward a standard size perfect for a young reader reading alone to them-self or aloud. Egermeier has endured many childhood generations and while I'm not sure if it was in my Sunday School class, since 1963 many classes have experience it and since the new edition in 2007 even more families and kids can experience it.

312 stories from the Old Testament to the New Testament, 122 full-color illustrations to bring the Bible stories to life. Complete with maps, thorough Questions and Answers, and helpful Bible Information... this book without addition makes a pretty good Bible study class alone! It is easy to see why many boxed curriculums recommend it.
