These Bible stories are short, one to three pages, with simple, colorful illustrations.  The table of contents does a nice of dividing the stories between the Old Testament and the New Testament, which each story titled in bold face type with a brief explanation of what the story is about, and then the book and verse of the Bible in which you’d find the passage.  The only problem is that the stories are blah and somewhat boring–‘he said, she said,and then this happened.’  No explanation of why, no reaction from the people of God, pretty much ‘just because God said so.’  I understand that this is the Bible and all and that people aren’t supposed to question the word of God, however, I think that this was a missed opportunity of what the intention here should be–explain how the Bible or at least particular story pertains to them and how it can be interpreted for today.
