We have several kids Bibles. But, the stories are too short for ds. He is ready for more detail and longer stories, but we still need good pictures.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I have the Read and Learn Bible by Scholastic. It also says American Bible Society on it. Anyway, it's get colorful pictures on every page, and longer stories too. Timmy loves it.

We use the children's bible... we have an old printing from the 60's ...

the only thing is in this book Jesus is white with blond hair and blue eyes. We're unsure about that. LOL, since, obviously, Jesus wasn't white. anyway, I'd like to find a children's bible w/ no pictures of Jesus but that is proving very difficult. SO, the paraphrasing of the stories remains close and the whole thing was looked over by various scholars (protestant, jewish & catholic) to ensure accuracy as far as remaining faithful to the original texts. And the stories are fairly long too.

That's the one my DS has (he's in the process of reading it from front to back!) I think we got it at Walmart! There are pictures on every page and the stories are several pages long (like 6-8 pages for each of the major Bible stories.)

Another one we have is this one (it has two page spreads - story on one side with follow up questions and a picture on the opposite page.):

Hurlbut's Story of the Bible was originally published a long time ago and is more of a compilation of Bible stories than a Bible per se. The link below offers it online as well as an option to order it. I think it's less expensive, though, through Amazon or Christianbook.com:

We just got this one for the kids not long ago, and even Mama is excited about it! :-D

It has some great detail and illustrations, such as how the temple probably looked, etc.

We read both the Beginners Bible
http://www.zondervan.com/Cultures/en-US/Product/ProductDetail.htm?ProdID=com.zondervan.97803107096 26&QueryStringSite=BeginnersBible.com

and the Rhyme Bible Storybook
http://www.amazon.com/Rhyme-Bible-Storybook-Linda-Sattgast/dp/031070197X

The beginners bible has more detailed stories than the Rhyme bible, but ds loves them both. (Although now that I think of it, he asks for stories from the BB more often lately...)

Let us know what you pick! :D
