Rating: 5 stars
What I liked:
*There's just one page for each book of the Bible. A key verse from each book of the Bible is included, in addition to the other material presented. The information is short, concise, and well-selected.
*The illustrations, as seen in the "look inside" feature on the Amazon listing, are small but great! A reader could go through this book and just look at the picture chosen to represent each book of the Bible, and that would be a worthwhile activity in and of itself. The pictures also have captions to explain what the illustrations represent.
What I didn’t like:
*The formatting of my Kindle ARC (advance reader copy) is nowhere nearly as nice as the sample pages I can see on the Amazon listing. I can see the pictures on my Kindle, but they're in black and white, and the font isn't as appealing as the paper copy either. In addition, the paper books have the advantage of each page covering exactly one book of the Bible. That would make it really easy to thumb through, whereas on the Kindle, the number of pages per book of the Bible varies according to what the font size is set at. Unless you require larger print, I'd definitely recommend the paper book
The bottom line: I highly recommend this as a reference for the target ages, 8-12, but in all honesty, I liked it too. It's a great way to grasp the big picture of each book of the Bible.
My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy of the book.
