My children love this book. Although the stories are based on the Bible, the writers retold those stories in a simpler versions that even young children can relate, too. The illustrations were colorful and beautifully illustrated. At the end of each short story, there are “Tuck in” activities that you can do with your little ones.
This book is a great addition to the books that you read to your young ones when you are putting them to sleep. It is not a detailed story of the events as told in the Bible but it is unique and the little kids will appreciate this stripped down version of those Bible stories.
