The material is non-enthusiastic. I think its a good place to start reading and helping your child to appreciate the Bible for children ages 4 and under. I have had to modify the material to give it that edge of excitement that is missing from the content.

I bought this book for use in my youth Sunday School Class. Our church is small so the class age range is very small children, 2 and 3 years old, and goes up to preteens. So far I have found that I can keep the interest of most everyone when reading to them from this book and they understand the stories well enough to answer questions afterwards. I highly recommend the book to anyone wanting to share bible stories with the young.

This "bible" is excellent. I think it would be valuable for new believers as well as children. The stories aren't sugar coated like so many children's bibles. Hurlburt retells the Bible in great detail but not so much as to make the story drag. I have a bachelor's degree in Bible and completed most of a master's degree in New Testament. When I read this to my daughter I make connections that I've never made before and come away with a better understanding of the scriptures. This book is out of print so if you have the opportunity to buy it don't pass it up.

Not what I was expecting. The cover is so colorful and the title of Bedtime Stories made me think it would be great for little kids. Not so much. The book is like a 500+ page adult novel. All black and white, no color at all inside. Every few pages there are pictures but they are small, about 1/3 of a page, and black and white. Many, many, pages have no pictures at all. I don't think the stories are written in a way that captures the interest of small kids. Perhaps better for preteens, in which case, I wouldn't title it with the words Bedtime Stories. Along with the lack of color and pictures little kids get bored really quick. There are MUCH better bible story books out there suited for children. Don't get it, even if it's on sale. Though I suppose it could work okay for older kids or even adults wanting to learn more about the bible in short easy pieces.Read full review
