Miracles of the Bible

By Jenn • Aug 24th, 2008 • Category: BOOKS FOR KIDS

The book is simply written but very close to the actual scripture passages. The author uses language that is easier for children to understand.

The length of each story is short enough to hold the attention of even the youngest toddler and the illustrations contain enough detail to be used in conjunction, for the child who is a visual learner.
