I'm going to give my 5 yo dd a Bible for Easter (for me to read aloud to her). Does anyone have any suggestionst?

5yo ds got The Jesus Storybook Bible http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/4719/nm/The_Jesus_Storybook_Bible_Every_Story_Whispers_His _Name_Hardcover_ for Christmas & LOVES it! He carries it all over the house "reading" it.

THE JESUS STORYBOOK BIBLE IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN...

It will make you cry and laugh and sing for joy. WE LOVE it.

Yes I'm yelling. It's that GREAT!!!!

Both my dc tenderly love this story bible the way they love no other (and they like all of them and had their favorites before) but this for both of my dc, is the epitome of all story bibles.

I bought "The Big Picture Story Bible" for my kids: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Picture-Story-Bible/dp/1581342772/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203476426&sr=8-1

We love it here. The stories are wonderfully narrated with detail at a child's level. Not too many pictures, though, if that is a priority, and the pictures that are included are not necessarily near the story to which they relate.

Yay! I just ordered this last week and am waiting for it to get here. I'm so excited now. :D

My dc have *loved* reading it by themselves and it also works very well for read aloud for 3-6 yos. It's abt 1st-2nd grade reading level, nicely written, well organized and nice pictures. It has great "thinking" questions at the end of each story. This summer, when my almost5yo just started reading it, my 3 dc started "having church" with my almost5yo as pastor, reading the story and then the 3 dc would discuss the questions. SOOO cute!

We like The Child's Story Bible here. The children beg for us to read to them out of it.

The Jesus Storybook Bible and The Big Picture Story Bible. My boys adored both of them. We did JSB first and then BPSB second. I wish I would have done them the other way first as Big Picture is geared more to a younger audience and Jesus Storybook Bible to a little older one.

Here's a link to the Westminster Online Bookstore where you can actually see 2 complete stories from the Jesus Storybook Bible:

Jesus Storybook Bible (http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/4719/nm/The_Jesus_Storybook_Bible_Every_Story_Whispers_His _Name_Hardcover_)

And here's a link to read 2 chapters from The Big Picture Story Bible:

Big Picture Story Bible (http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/5212/nm/The_Big_Picture_Story_Bible_Hardcover_)

These are two truly wonderful resources!

The Read With Me Bible actually helped our son learn to read. He had been through most of 100EZ lessons but when we gave him that Bible he just loved reading it to us.

We love it and have used it for 2 years now!

We are enjoying the Jesus Storybook Bible as well! Another favorite of ours, for being more complete and having questions to ask at the end is the Bedtime Bible by Focus on the Family. Here is a link:

Yet another vote for Catherin Vos' Child's Story Bible. We have used it for several years, reading it through each school year. I love the way it points to Christ through the whole Bible, from Genesis onward. And there's lots of detail.

A dissenting opinion:

I don't like the Jesus Storybook Bible. I have found it to be inaccurate scripturally in parts. I would not recommend it.
Although the children love it- I would rather choose a book that is less "yummy" to them- but more truth.

I am using 101 Favorite Bible Stories with my five year old. So far we are enjoying it.

We also use New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes- all my young children have enjoyed it...

and The Child's Story Bible- but I prefer that for six and up-although my five year old does enjoy listening to it.

JMO,
Rebecca

her version is enjoyable to read and accurate. The story Bible will serve you well for years.
