A captivating, first introduction to the Bible, beautifully produced as a set of four perfect gift books to give to godchildren at their Christening, at Christmas or on their birthdays. This selection of New Testament stories has all the essential elements to become a child's best-loved book, with boards that are easy to hold and turn, and the most interesting stories simply, clearly and excitingly retold. Fine, classical illustrations - of the stable in Bethlehem, or Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey - draw the children right into the atmosphere of bible times. Almost by chance, they will absorb the story of Jesus, pick up an idea of his teaching, and build their reading skills.
