I enjoyed reading the Toddler Bible with stories retold by Gwen Ellis.  The pictures are vivid as well.  One thing that I appreciate about the way Ms. Ellis retells the stories is that she simplifies them without losing the important components.  She is not afraid of the “bad” parts of the bible.  At the end of each chapter or section, there is a small box for the parents giving ideas for a craft that will help the child remember each lesson.   There are also ideas for discussion questions for taking each story a bit further.    For those with older kids as well, at the top of each page is the reference in the Bible from where these stories come from.   I look forward to using this book with my little ones.
