There are about sixteen familiar Bible stories bound in this 32-page board book. It's a tough book created for small hands and the writing is very much targeted for younger listeners. Each two-page spread begins with a simple title, which gives a quick glimpse at the theme, and then the book and chapters in the Bible where the story can be found. Next comes a 1-2 paragraph short version of the Bible story, followed by a two-lined rhymed prayer and a super short, one-lined verse out of the Bible, which directly relates to the tale. It's short, sweet and aimed at listeners ages 3 and up.
The illustrations are the main lure of this tiny book, letting the Precious Moments style come across on every page. It's cute and a joy to glance through. Only two characters broke away from this style, which my kids did notice right away. Otherwise, it's everything one can expect from Precious Moments.
The stories are kept very children friendly. Obviously, one or two paragraphs isn't enough to bring across the tales in their entirety, and sometimes important aspects are left out. The person reading the book aloud will have to decide for themselves, whether or not these holes need to be patched.
All in all, it's a cute book, which meets all Precious Moments expectations. It's a lovely glimpse at several of the most known Bible stories and kept short enough to hold even more 'movement' friendly-listeners' attention until the end.
I received a complimentary copy from Booklook Bloggers and enjoyed this enough to want to leave my honest thoughts.
There’s nothing cuter than illustrations in a Precious Moments book. In fact, the illustrations are some of the best you’ll find in any children’s storybook.
This is a collection of stories taken from the Old and New Testament of the Bible. At the start of each story, the verse and chapter for that story are referenced. At the end of the story are words of affirmation and another scripture to summarize.
The scriptures used in this book are taken from the International Children’s Bible.
I appreciate that this book is appropriate for my (almost) four-year old but still in board book format. I don’t have to worry about my little one ripping pages as she admires the pictures and attempts to read the story.
My daughter has enjoyed this book immensely and asks for me to read it to her at least once a day since we’ve gotten it.
This book will loved and cherished by toddlers, preschoolers and early readers.

Precious Moments Little Book of Bible Stories by Jean Fischer is the perfect board book to introduce a toddler up to a young reader to well known Bible stories.
Many of the Old Testament stories include Genesis' story of creation, Noah, Abraham, and Moses; David, Daniel, and Jonah. After Jonah, the young reader reads about Jesus' birth.
One of the things I liked about this story is the inclusion of "The Lost Sheep". This parable told by Jesus is often overlooked, but one of the best stories for children to learn. I have a soft spot for Mark 4:39, so it was my utter delight to see the chapter "Jesus Calms the Sea". The classic "loaves and fish", plus the story of his crucifixion and resurrection was next.
The book wraps up nicely with "Jesus Lives" and the commandment to go and spread the Good News!
The sturdy book will withstand even the toughest of little hands. This is a children's Bible story book that I highly recommend. And the Precious Moments illustrations really bring the stories to life.
