When children experience a parent who loves them wrap them up in their arms and lovingly read the Bible to them, they begin to associate that sense of love, security, and relationship with the Bible, laying the foundation for their relationship with Jesus, even before the words themselves take on any meaning. Shop our guide below and find a Bible that's just right for your child's age and development.
The Preschooler’s Bible
This sweet Bible you may have grown up with now features new illustrations in its second edition. The perfect size for little hands and just the right length of text for little attention spans, we recommend this book from birth to toddlerhood.
Also available in Español!
The Beginner’s Bible
A classic for a reason! We love the Beginner’s Bible’s bright illustrations, short stories, and simple understandable text. This is a great choice for reading along with your toddler.
Also available in a bilingual version!

An excellent first Bible for toddlers. The warm illustrations and easy-to-read stories are perfect for young children to learn about Jesus. Parents will also appreciate that each story includes a discussion prompt.

God’s Big Picture Bible Storybook
Written by one of the world’s top Bible scholars and featuring beautiful, large illustrations, this is one Bible you’ll enjoy thumbing through with young readers. With its slightly larger size and more dense passages, this is best for preschool age and up. Parents will also appreciate how the author highlights the metanarrative of the Bible.
The Jesus Storybook Bible
This well-loved Bible highlights Jesus as the main character of God’s big story. Full-color pages and engaging illustrations spark interest in young minds. Individual stories can be somewhat lengthy, so this one may be best for reading aloud to kindergarteners and up.

The Hear-Me-Read Bible
This Bible is unique and perfect for toddlers and early readers alike! Little ones will love the repetition of words and phrases in this story, making it easy for them to retell, while early readers will find joy in reading the Bible! Parents will appreciate the word list at the beginning of each story — a perfect way to blend early reading skills with a love for God’s Word.
Psalms for Children
While this book is not a Bible, I feel that it does a good job of rewriting the Psalms in a way that children can appreciate and understand. It is a favorite in our house.
