Currie, Robin. 2008. Baby Bible: Stories About Jesus. Illustrated by Constanza Basaluzzo.
This board book story-bible is great for young readers--babies, toddlers, preschoolers. The book presents a nice variety of stories centered on Jesus--from his birth to his ascension.
Each story is two pages. One of text. One of illustration. The text consists of title, scripture reference, narrative (with interaction prompts), and a concluding prayer.
For example,
Jesus At the Temple
Taken from Luke 2:41-50
Jesus and His family went on a long trip to the temple in Jerusalem. They walked and walked.
You can learn about Jesus by reading the Bible--God's Word.
Thank you, God, for books to learn about Jesus. Amen.
I won't mention the illustrations because with one edition being out-of-print now and the newer edition being a different illustrator--one I haven't even seen--it wouldn't be all that helpful unless you happen to want to seek out this older edition and buy it used.
I will say this--I loved this book.
