MY REVIEW:

Sometimes, my daughters would ask me why they don't see God and no matter how I explain to them who God is, there are times when they couldn't understand what I'm saying. Yes, it is hard to explain what faith and belief is to young kids, like in the case of my 4 and 7 year old, so I when I read the book, The Biggest Story: How The Snake Crusher Brings us Back to the Garden, I was so happy at how this book made the stories in the Bible simple and easy to comprehend.

The book came in a hardbound style and the pages are glossy. The story started with the story of Adam and Eve until the death of Jesus Christ. At the end of the story, there is a moral which is nice because it briefly and simply explained what faith and belief is. The words used on this book is appropriate for young children and the illustrations were very nice. I love how it simplified other stories in the Bible like Noah's ark and etc.

This is a great bedtime book and a great way to make young children understand who God is and how He watches over us and guides us.
