Review: A Bible Alphabet
26 pages, one for each letter of the alphabet, telling very simply, familiar stories from the Bible. Big bold print with illustrations which I loved, drawn with ink and coloured pencil that give a special feel to the pictures. G for Goliath, used on the cover, is a prime example. He is big and fierce but not too frightening for little ones. This book cleverly tells a scrap of the story without distortion but hopefully will entice the child to want to learn more as they get older.
