Summary: First true study bible I've seen for children
Review: More than just another NIRV children's Bible from Zondervan this is truly a study Bible for the young. One of the unique features is a lot of bright pictures that appear to be drawn by children. With a very brief introduction before each book, questions scattered throughout to encourage children to think about the lessons behind the stories, and lots of other features it is an excellent choice for children. The Bible ends with a section on life in the New Testament times and a small dictionary.

The only thing I don't like is the placement of the various pictures. For example the pictures of Jesus walking on the water and Peter's vision are both in the pages of the book of Jeremiah. Likewise Zacchaeus Climbing the tree is in the pages of Ezekiel. This can be confusing to a child when the pictures are in the wrong books. Even with this caveat it is more than just a readable children's Bible, it teaches children how to study, think about what they have read, and find additional information using the dictionary. The Kids Study Bible: New International Readers Version is highly recommended as a first Study Bible for young children.

Summary: Our choice for a gift bible
Review: My church has been giving the NIV New Adventure Bible as a presentation bible for our new 1st graders. Recent revisions of that edition sent us looking for a new choice. We like this one. The NIrV text is good for this age group. The art is colorful and appealing - drawn to look like children's art. There are no fantasy cartoons which confuse children in the one book they ought to be able to trust as "true." This edition is a good 2nd choice for us.
