Having to consider this now. Haven't the first clue what to look for, so thought I would throw it out there and see what kind of response it would get.

Recommendations welcome. :)

we've gone through countless first bibles!

The best I thought was "A Child's First Bible" by Kenneth N. Taylor - its big and hardback which means that it won't get bashed around quite so easily. Also the illustrations are excellent.

well, it's good to read to them even at a very young age - we read to Millie and she's 14 months now, but we were reading to here before she was 1. It can be different depending on the child, in my expereince it would normally be about 14-18 monts to start to read to them.

To have them start to read for themselves ... 4 or 5 years. Usually later for boys.

It sounds like "A Child's First Bible" by Kenneth N. Taylor is a winner! A sturdy hardback with beautiful illustrations is definitely a great choice for young readers. It's wonderful to introduce children to the world of Bible stories with engaging books that capture their imagination and make learning about faith enjoyable. Happy reading and exploring with your little ones!

My first bible was given to me by my aunt for my 7th birthday. It was a KJV. I still have it but had it rebound in the 1960s. When I got it back it had section in the psalms missing it still has.

I still mostly use the KJV, although our church uses the NKJV.

It’s the one you read to them as they are going to sleep, the one that has spoken to you. You are their Beather out of The Word that they here.

For a child's first Bible, The Beginner's Bible is a popular choice. It’s filled with vibrant illustrations and easy-to-understand stories that simplify complex themes for young readers. Another good option is The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones, which beautifully connects Old and New Testament stories to the message of Jesus, making it engaging and meaningful for kids. Both options are great introductions that capture children's attention and help them start exploring the Bible in a way that's age-appropriate and fun.
