God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook

This Bible recounts some of the key events in the Bible. It doesn’t make many theological conclusions but introduces children to the narrative. The pictures are colourful and well drawn for preschoolers.
The Big Picture Story Bible – David Helm
This story book covers the Big Story of the Bible. It helps children understand how the whole Bible teaches and points us to the great salvation found in Jesus.
One Big Story – Bible Storybook
This Storybook Bible contains 145 stories from the Old and New Testament. One of the strengths of this storybook Bible is that each story has a connection with Jesus. The amount of text and style of pictures are well suited for this age group
The Gospel Story Bible – Marty Machowski
This Story Bible takes passages of the Bible and condenses them into a single page story which is well written for children. It incorporates the theology of the whole Bible into that story so that children are learning to always read a passage in context. The authors encourage children to read the story and then spend the next couple of days actually reading the passages from a Bible.
NIV Bible
It’s great to introduce and start reading a regular Bible with your child by the time they start school. Even older preschoolers will be able to manage some of the easier Bible narratives. Using a combination of a kids Bible and regular Bible is great for aiding understanding.
Once children are in year 3, we would love for them to have their own NIV Bible, that they are learning to read for themselves, and that they can bring along to EV Kids each Sunday. We use the 2011 version in EV Kids.
