This colourful, chunky board book retells the Bible in 20 favourite episodes so that young children may begin to explore the Bible for themselves. The simple, short stories highlight key aspects of the Christian faith - love, obedience and trust - whilst Melanie Mitchell's bright and smiley characters exude cheerfulness and faith.

The result is a very useable book which feels about the same size as a proper grown up Bible and that very little children can browse or their own or have read aloud to them.

Simple prayers and appealing illustrations make this a delight to give on the occasion or anniversary of a baptism or christening. A selection of modern and traditional blessings touch on the values that a grown-up wishes for a newly baptized child: love; joy; peace; patience; kindness; goodness; faithfulness; gentleness; self-control. The book includes a dedication page to record the date of the baptism, the name of the child, and the godparents.

This thoughtful selection of simply retold Bible stories and prayers is written especially so that young children may come to understand the faith into which they have been christened. Each Bible story ends with a simple prayer telling of God's promise of blessing, to say together and remember. Caroline Williams's gentle illustrations will help little children take the sentiment of the stories and blessings to heart, providing a warm and soft focus as adult and child share these special words together.

This is a very interactive book, where each page has a different set of foot prints that the young reader can have fun guessing which animal they belong to.
