I wanted to extend my sincerest thanks to Lindsey Rodarmer at Zonderkidz for giving me the opportunity to review Sally Lloyd-Jones’ The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers his Name.
I’ve been working my way through The Jesus Storybook Bible with my children for several months. It only took a few of the short stories to make it one of their all time favorite Bible story books. The intended age range for this book is four to seven years old, but my children as young as three and as old as ten have enjoyed it as well.
The Jesus Storybook Bible is comprised of 21 stories from the Old Testament and 23 stories from the New Testament. What makes this book unique is the way each story from the both the Old & New Testaments clearly point back to Jesus as the central figure of the Biblical story. The illustrations throughout the book are colorful, exciting, and age appropriate. Parents and kids alike will appreciate Sally Lloyd-Jones excellent writing style. This is by far the best children’s Bible story book I’ve ever seen. It will be a great addition to any family’s library.
Sally Lloyd-Jones is a leading writer of inspirational books for children. She is the author of three bestselling Children’s bibles, including the Gold Medallion Award-winning Baby’s First bible. She has written many picture books for children, including Handbag Friends and Time to Say goodnight. A native of England, Sally lives in New York City.
Jago is an accomplished illustrator with several prestigious awards to his credit, including a Macmillian “Highly commended” Award for children’s Illustration in 2003, an AOI Silver Award in 2004, and the National Literacy Association Wow! Award. Jago lives in Cornwall, England, with his wife and daughter.
