As soon as the Read & Play Baby Bible showed up at my
house, my two year old claimed it as hers! The illustrations are cute and happy
the book is very appealing to young ones. The content, however, is more suitable
for my ten month old daughter. Nevertheless the toddler insisted on going
through all the stories with me, so I can say confidently that the book appeals
to babies and toddlers alike.
The hardback cover is thick and just a little spongy to
protect against the abuse typical of the target age group. Each left page has a
title, Bible verses to reference the story, and two or three sentences to
summarize it .The opposite page has little ideas for play with the child, and
an illustration covers both pages.
The summaries don’t necessarily tell the story, but usually
just a part of it to capture a child’s attention. One could argue that it doesn’t
teach the stories very well, but I think the idea is to start introducing the
child to the Bible while introducing them to books as well. Obviously the book
is attractive, as both my girls can attest to, and the amount of writing on
each page is appropriate when you have a toddler who is ready to turn to the
next page quickly.
I think this is a fun book for babies and would make a good
gift.
