This collection of six softcover storybooks is a picture-perfect introduction to the Bible for children. The Bible stories are simply rewritten, but remain true to the original. The illustrations are bold, colorful and illustrate the text on each page. Emerging readers will be able to read the books with help.  The boxed set includes: Noah and the Flood, Moses and the Princess, David and Goliath, The First Christmas, Jesus and the Fisherman, and The Lost Sheep. Parents, grandparents, and early educators will find that these books are a first-rate bedtime read aloud and early childhood educators will find multiple classroom uses for them as well.
