Each story is prefaced with a one-line introduction explaining its place in the Bible, so children can gain a deeper understanding of the broader sweep and purpose of the Bible's stories as a whole. This keepsake Bible is graced with glowing pencil and watercolour illustrations, which add to its charm and appeal, and is specially presented in a blue edition.
