I hate to have to leave only 3 stars for this Bible, since I really do LOVE it and we read it every night. It has wonderful vivid pictures and tells the story in a clear and thorough fashion, pointing all of the stories back to Jesus. Each section is about 4 pages long, which seems perfect for a nighttime before bed reading for my 3-year old. With that being said, one review mentions a few grammatical errors in Spanish - I have to say, there are more than a few. There are multiple errors on almost every page - from grammar, to spelling, to misuse of words. I would love to see a new edition put out with solid Spanish editing, because I would definitely change my rating to 5 stars!
The Spanish translation in the book is not good at all. I am a Spanish teacher from Spain and I like to get bilingual books for my soon. I wanted to get him a children's bible (he's 4) to get him into understanding God and the stories in the Bible in both languages. i end up making up the Spanish part because the translation is bad. The pictures are wonderful and we love all the colors.
This bible story book is a top seller due to the script correlating with the lovely illustrations. However, this bilingual edition would be wonderful for anyone who reads Spanish but wants to improve their English. I gave this copy to a missionary couple serving in Mexico who gives these out to literate families who promise to read it to their young children. Next time I will send a case of this edition to them.
This bible is a precious treasure for families. It actually has the translation of the pages in English and Spanish, so it makes it very easy for kids of both languages to read it without much help. The Spanish translation could be improved since it has minor grammar mistakes. However, the language of the book, so beautiful and simple really makes up for it. I have long looked for a children`s bible that is beautiful, not just the facts, but that it brings the Word with poetry and in a gracious way so the heart will be engaged in the reading. This one does it. It can be read aloud to younger kids or self-read by older ones. The illustrations and page layout are a gift to your senses. It is a great value for the price, since is one of those books that will be read by the entire family at different points. The size is convenient, the language is clear, the layouts are appropriate, the text is mostly accurate (it does mention there were 3 wise men and most bibles don't specify a number.) Nevertheless it makes a very useful and clear link between the old testament stories and promises to the actual coming of Jesus. It skips most of the new testament, so you will need a different bible for details on that part of the story. all Paul's letters are condensed in a couple pages to pinpoint the relevance of Jesus in Paul's life. Yet it is a wonderful buy. I will buy more as presents. Since it is non-denominational, it can be enjoyed by anybody that wants to read and learn more about Jesus. After all, teachings about God should not be more complicated than a children`s book. Maybe that`s why he said if we did not became like children, we could not enter the kingdom. This book is definitely a keeper at a great price. It makes a great present for small and not-so-small kingdom seekers.
PLEASE NOTE: The Spanish ONLY version was updated in 2013 with corrected Spanish grammar!
This is a great book for working with children - especially bilingual kids. We used these on a recent Central American mission trip. Our team would sit for 20-30 minutes at a time with children. The kids read the Spanish and we followed along in the English story. It was a wonderful tool for our team. We bought 12 of them to use and then left them as a curriculum resource for the church there.
I should begin with the disclaimer that I am not sufficiently fluent in Spanish (yet!) to critique the quality of the translation. Nevertheless, this wonderful book is side-by-side English and Spanish of my favorite "children's bible." The pages are glossy print and decently strong and the binding was well made, though not sewn (can't find sewn books anymore *sigh*). You will read many reviews about how this book is not Scripturally correct...and that's true. It has some errors and assumed dialogue that will make a "Sola Scriptura" fundamentalist's teeth itch. But if all you want to do is get the story of Jesus into the hands of a child, it's a *very* welcoming book for beginners. Let's face it, lots of the stories in the Bible are just plain *dry*...this rewrite was not intended to be the next best scholarly translation of God's Living Word (tm), it's just put into simple structures and words children may easily grasp.
As a bilingual parent, trying to raise bilingual children, I was really looking forward to being able to read this book to my girls in Spanish. We absolutely LOVE the English version, and I was really hoping to be able to have the same experience in Spanish. But the Spanish version is sometimes too formal and uses language that is not really common, which one would expect for a children's book. In parts, it seems it was translated literally, which does not sound right.
