Fifty Bible stories are retold here from both the Old and the New Testaments in this fine hardback with lovely, gentle watercolour illustrations throughout. Each story is prefaced with a one-line introduction explaining its place in the Bible, so children can gain a deeper understanding of the broader sweep and purpose of the Bible's stories as a whole.
Glowing pencil and watercolour illustrations add to its charm and appeal, and is specially presented in a pink edition, to make a wonderful gift for a girl.
A leading Bible storyteller, Lois Rock uses all her understanding and skill to retell 50 favourite stories from the Old and New Testaments, with simplicity and sincerity.
Attractive illustrations with a soft focus and muted palette are sophisticated enough to appeal to older children, and the volume's small-but-thick size also gives it the look of a book intended for children in upper-elementary grades or middle school. An excellent choice for family reading or religious education programs. -- Kirkus Reviews
