Shiny Sequin Bible By Tommy Nelson Publishing

This is the Shiny Sequin Bible by Tommy Nelson Publishing and is the International Children's Bible.

I was so excited to get  this Bible and give it to my niece as a gift!  I was sure she would love it with the adorable box it comes in!  The pink cover is so CUTE with it's sequined harts and flowers!  I know as a little girl this is something I would have loved to receive!  In the back of the Bible are some nice colored maps, a nice dictionary and an index which are all helpful resources!

I did also try to find this bible on amazon.com and on barnesandnoble.com and was not able to find it on either website.  I was able to locate it on Christian Book.

The translation of this Bible is the International Children's Bible.  This did make it easier for a child to understand verses throughout he Bible.  I did also like the section that had verses aimed at areas such as, doing good, scripture memory, & happiness. However, I was a bit disappointed in the size of the font for young girls and I had expected it to be more of a study bible with more questions or easier reading.  My niece is 8 years old and is in advanced reading classes so for her it is fine, however if anyone was much younger than this I think it would be quite difficult to read and use.  I think it's fun for a first bible but not sure she'll keep it as she grows up and not sure she'll even use it much now.  I think it would have been a lot better if the font was bigger and more of a study bible  - even a few pictures throughout would have broken up the pages and made it more of an inviting Bible. I think this version is just to mature for young readers.  However, I think this is aimed at younger girls - might be a good version to start with in elementary but will need something different as they grow and mature.
