A collection of 99 Bible Stories illustrated in bright colours.
Each story is told across a double page spread and there is a mixture of full page art and spot illustrations throughout the book. Following the Bible narrative the stories start with At the Beginning, and cover a wide variety including Samuel Listens, Esther, A Blind Man Sees, and Jesus Walks on the Lake, right through to One Day Jesus Will Return.
In the past I have enjoyed sharing Bible related books from Juliet David, but this is a fun little book. The perfect square size to sit on our shelves next to our treasuries (like Biscuit, Marley, Lyle, Fancy Nancy and others) this book of "99 Stories from the Bible" is attractive to the eye and already my children pick it up by choice. The illustrations are vivid and brilliant and help to tell a good story. Overall this is a "happy" version of Bible stories as most of the scary or sad stories are left out, although the crucifixion is shown. It is a good introduction from Candle Books for the youngest generation to start a firm foundation of faith in the Bible.
