Does anyone have a children's Bible for both Little (Family-Time or 101 FAvorite Stories) and Beyond (The Early Reader's Bible or The Beginner's Bible) and how did you chose one over the other?
This coming year I will use it for a boy, but will use for dd in 2-3 years...
I tried to do a search for a previous post but I couldn't find anything specific to this. As always, thanks in advance!

Re: Children's Bible choice for Little Hearts and Beyond
One thing I did, Kirstin, was to look up various children's Bibles (like the 2 choices offered with Beyond, for instance) on Amazon.com or Christianbook.com where you can often look inside the book and get a feel for what the text and pictures are like. Hope that helps!

Re: Children's Bible choice for Little Hearts and Beyond
For LHFHG, I simply chose the bible that was listed for my daughter's age range, the Family Time Bible, and I'm glad I did! She adores this bible, she loves the artwork, it isn't babyish or cartoonish, like so many chidren's bibles are. As for Beyond, which we'll be doing next year, I already have an early readers bible, which is fairly new, so we will be using that for her Emerging Reader bible. I would love to go with one of Carrie's picks but I can't justify the added expense when we have one that will do the job.
Blessings!

My son loved using the Family Time Bible this year for Little lHearts For His Glory.The illistrations are very good and really helped hold his attention and helped him understand the message.
Next year we have selected the beginners bible.

I can't compare the Bibles for LHFHG for you, but I know for the emerging readers there's a difference in reading level of the 2. The Early Readers Bible has an easier reading level than the Beginners Bible. So, lots of moms start with the easier one. I've seen some say that they start with The Early Readers Bible and then do The Beginners Bible before going through all the other emerging readers. I think I'll probably do this with Alli because she'll probably be on the young side when we're ready for the emerging readers.
