Candle Bible for Toddlers: Deluxe Edition by Juliet David & illustrated by Helen Prole (includes complete book on audio CD) [Review & Giveaway - USA]

About the book/CD: The Candle Bible for Toddlers is an excellent way to introduce classic Bible stories to young children. Each story features a clear and simple retelling supported by exciting and colorful illustrations by Helen Prole. The 133 stories, from both the Old and New Testaments, include Scripture references and are told with only two or three lines of text per page, perfect to share with energetic toddlers or first-time readers.

This popular children's Bible, which has become a family favorite around the world, is now available in a delightful new format: a hardcover book packaged in a slipcase together with an audio CD. The audio CD is separated into tracks for each Bible story, and is narrated by Children's BBC television presenter Gemma Hunt!

Author: Juliet David has written many children's stories and Bible activity books. Her other interests include painting, music, and travel to Israel and other Bible lands. This experienced author lives in London with her family.

My thoughts: I love for the young child to be able to hold his or her own story book in their hands because they begin to ponder the pictures and the words they have heard previously and that is how they begin to incorporate it into their heart. Story telling is seeding time for parents, and what better seed to plant than the love of the Word of God and how He explains Himself to people through His Word - the Bible. Of course, we all recognize that the very young need very simple versions and ideas at the start or they will be overwhelmed. That is where these "bibles" or Bible storybooks come into usefulness for the child and the parent.

The Toddler Edition of Candle Bible for Kids is worth exploring and using with the young child in your life - parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle. It is designed for the 2 to 4 year old child and the illustrations and story text and very simple. Opportunity is knocking for you to plow the field and plant the seed in the young heart of a child. This will be an initial introduction of events and characters in the Bible. It's not Scripture. It is a storybook and is useful to introduce the Bible to a young child and give him his own to hold and treasure.

This "deluxe edition" includes the audio CD for more variety in using the Bible storybook. I love that  the child can listen as well as "read" the Bible stories. A real plus! Find it at Kregel Books - click here. - or your favorite book seller.
