The Holy Bible International Children's Bible is not a Children's Bible in the traditional sense of the phrase. It is not merely the stories of the Bible that children would be interested. It is also not a picture book there are no pictures to speak of in this Bible. It is not even a paraphrase. It is an actual translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek language. All of that being said it is an easy to read translation. Most children of about 5th grade reading level would be able to read it straight through and most reading children of any age could read the familiar stories. It has plenty of maps to engage the reader into knowing where a particular incident took place. The outside is decorated for girl readers especially those who love the Frozen movie. It comes with a blue Bible case so that it can be easily transported (and protected) to church or study events.
I would recommend this Bible for purchase for anyone buying for young girls either for personal study or as a Sunday School promotion gift. It should be considered a good first Bible for girls but would be easy Bible reading for adults also. It is a really good translation and I enjoyed reading it. I really think that calling it a children's translation is going to cut down on sales because it would be a good translation for any adult to read also. I know that I enjoyed reading this translation.
I received this Bible from BookLook for this review.
