Bible for children

The book is beautiful, good, rather large, paper dense, white. Cover lacquered with gold embossed. Pretty unobtrusive frames from the ornament frame and benefit the text.
illustrations, in my opinion, good, realistic, although there are and very abstract, but they are much smaller. In general, there are quite a lot of illustrations, which is undoubtedly important for preschoolers. Good book and the fact that G.P. Shalaeva (who returned the Bible for this publication) during the story placed questions for young readers, helping to formulate morality, to catch the main idea of ​​the plot.
But, indeed, events that are described in this Bible retelling, mainly from the New Testament. From the Old - only stories about the creation of the world, about the fall, about Caine and Avele, about the World Flood and the Babylonian Podpotnation (it seems, I haven"t forgotten anything) But the children would be very interesting, in my opinion, to learn about Jew in the whale whale, and about Samson with Dalila. Of course, the most conceptual in the book is given, but in my opinion it would be possible not to be limited only to the scenes given.
In general, the Bible in this edition is clearly incomplete, so if you want to read the whole Bible with the child, it is better to look for another The publication, and if you want to introduce it to the basics of Orthodox culture, I would advise you to buy a book Georgy Nikolaevich Yudina & Quot, Az, Buki, and lead. ABC Orthodoxy & quot, (albeit more expensive, but in a significant plan is much richer)
