Bible stories

DS1 is increasingly keen to have at least two or three Bible stories read to him every evening.

We have been reading stories from "La Bible des petits enfants" (editor Mame Fleurus, 2002, ISBN 2-215-04288-5) for some time. A nice feature is that it is illustrated by four different artists, so that if one style does not appeal, the others may well do. The text is accessible but not bland or childish.

Then I found a board book, "Lift the flap Bible", published by Candle Books, illustrated by Tracey Moroney, at our local Exchange Project for nearly new clothes and other items for children aged 0 to 5. I thought it would suit DS2 perfectly, which it does, but DS1 is also very happy with it, and likes to follow the action by lifting the flap exactly at the right moment while I read the story. The text is short, as, indeed, the book is recommended for ages 10 months and older. A good way to have an introduction to a complex biblical episode or parable.

I am currently borrowing "My First Book of Bible Stories" (Caxton Editions, 1999) from the library. Both sons like this book very much, too. The stories are somewhat longer, typically on four pages, but abundantly illustrated. I may be tempted to order a used copy for a symbolic 1p (+postage) through Amazon...
