Read and Share Bedtime Bible and Devotional

My all time favorite for bible books. I am super picky about children's bible books-- especially because they add so much extra stuff that just isn't there. That is NOT the case with this bible. They have a few thought questions after each story. In the back part of this book, they have cute little ideas you can do with your kids and make it more of a devotional... one example is-- they explain how we need to not complain, then they present a challenge... each person in the family gets a mason jar.... throughout the week, if people hear someone complain, stick a bean in the jar of the person that complained... at the end of the week, evaluate how everyone did... so cute! I haven't read all the devotionals, mainly because they are just an added bonus at the end of the book. I was more concerned with finding a bible book that accurately explained the bible stories.After discovering this book, I was delighted to find they have matching DVD's. The Jesus series DVD's has a lot of extra dialogue that isn't in the bible, but if you stick to the cd's that go with THIS book, they are all accurate. Here it is for anyone interested:https://www.amazon.com/Read-Share-DVD-Bible-Box/dp/1400314712/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493090257&sr=8-1&keywords=read+and+share+bible+dvdIt was worth it to me to write a long review because of how different this book is compared to other books.I also should say they include all kinds of stories. Not just the same old stories that are in EVERY children's bible-- David and Goliath, Jonah and the Big fish... It was refreshing that I was able to learn a few stories I had overlooked as well!To be fair, I need to write a con: I guess the one con I would say... for those who are looking for detailed stories, this book would not be for you. They cover old and new testament and get the kids familiar with ALL KINDS of characters in the bible, but they are all abbreviated. I personally like it because it isn't too wordy for the kids' short attention span, and their focus is to cover a lot of the bible. If they went too much in depth, they wouldn't hit a lot of other characters in the old and new testament. Hopefully this will help...

This Bedtime Read and Share Bible was recommended by our Sunday School director. She said the Bedtime version is similar to the regular version except this one gives you more....by giving you the devotionals at the end. This is the same bible that is used in the Sunday school program and it is wonderful. I asked for this recommendation because I kept finding toddler/baby bibles they only covered the old testament....it would the cute stories about Noah, Daniel, but nothing more past "Baby Jesus" in the manger in most of those. This was the first one that takes us from gensis to revelation. It is a must have for your toddler. My son loves "reading" the bible...the pictures are cute and vibrant and he can get the context of the story by looking at the picture. The story is simple and short for very short attention spans.I also have purchased the videos that also really helps this bible come to life for my toddler. You will be amazed at what a little one can learn about Bible.

We have a zillion Bibles for little kids, but this is my favorite. The stories are super short, so I can read just one or maybe a dozen depending on my child's mood. The questions after each story are simple yet varied. For example, some are personal, some are straight comprehension, some ask children to make predictions, some transition to the next story. As a former teacher, I love that. There's also a beautiful devotional section at the end, which we haven't looked at too much yet, but I'm looking forward to getting started.

Awesome way to introduce children to God's word as bedtime stories. This is the second book I purchase, but now, it's for my granddaughter, instead of my children, from the same publishing company. I had a more simpler version when my kids were young & used it for them. Now, I have bought this one for my little grandchild to read to her too.

Great little bible. My son's a little young to understand but loves the pictures and getting him used to it. This is going to be a great addition to bedtime.

Lots of Bible stories across the enter Bible, not just the normal top 10 from Sunday school.

Our children loved this Bible, and so did we! The wording is very simple and easy to understand. The pictures are not too “cartoon-like”, but kid friendly at the same time. It is well worth buying. I would purchase this again :)

My son loves reading this bible

For granddaughter's

It was given to my Great Grandaughter as a Christening present.

This book has very kid-friendly pictures and the words are simple enough that kids would understand. My little boy especially liked the devotional part. We try to use it every night before they go to sleep.
