Five Stars!
My nine-year-old daughter loves this Bible. It is very easy for her to read independently and probably would have been good for her even two to three years ago. There are different activities suggested based on biblical principles as well as question/answer review pages.
One awesome story I have to share about this book is something my daughter did after having this book for less than a day. When my husband and I went to bed that night, there was a note tucked in by my husband's pillow. It was a thank you note from our daughter thanking him for taking care of here. I have to admit I was a bit jealous! But the next morning when I went to get ready for the day, I discovered my own love note from her in my bathroom drawer! When I told her thank you and gave her a big hug, she explained that her new Bible told her to do that and that is just one of the reasons she likes it so much. :)
This was the first book I got for free from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for writing a review. However, they do not require it to be a positive review; I genuinely like this Devotional Bible!

I know, I’m way older than this book was intended for. And, no, I’m not ashamed at all. Obviously, I didn't really like the "little kid talk", but, knowing that this book was written for like 7-year-olds, I was able to overlook that. I remembered reading it when I was little, and I wanted to see how Biblically accurate it was. I was not disappointed. There was so much wisdom in this little book! Some of the content covered would be too deep for many kids to understand, but overall this was an AMAZING book, full of good advice, and plenty of Bible verses.

The cover of this devotional Bible has a plastic jeweled tiara on the front and it really drew my 4 year old (4 yrs, 11 months) niece in. The God's Little Princess Devotional Bible is written by Sheila Walsh and published by Thomas Nelson.
It starts with the encouraging statement "Every girl is a princess, the daughter of a King... the greatest King who created and rules over everything." Also, the pages at the beginning make it easy to personalize with the name of the giver, receiver and date. My niece had me change the occasion field to be for the names of her pets who witnessed the presentation of the gift.
The Scriptures are taken from the International Children's Bible. The devotions give the Bible references and teach about a person or principle in the Bible.
Along with the Scripture, are features such as scripture memory, tips on being beautiful on the inside, skits, songs to sing, teaching manners and values. The illustrations next to the features are adorable and remind me of those in the book "Fancy Nancy".
Each story and the related pages are color-coded which makes it really easy to find the beginning of the story. My niece referred to the stories by their colors.
Unfortunately, even edited snippets of a children's Bible is difficult for a mature 4 year old to understand. I wish that each story had a question and answer part. I think this book would be better suited for a 6-7 year old.
All in all, it is good Bible for a little girl 6-7 years old. [...:].

What a colorful little book this is. With excerpts from the International Children's Bible this is a great tool for young girls (ages 4-7 approximately) to learn to grow in their relationship with Christ as well as into themselves and the princesses that they are. I was a little thrown at first reading the scripture realizing the parts that were missing, but that was before I knew that this was with excerpts and references to scripture and not a full Bible. The main points are there and other parts are left open that would encourage discussion of further depth into scripture at least in my opinion.
"Every girl is a princess, the daughter of a King... the greatest King who created and rules over everything!" The features through out this Bible are amazing and fun. There is a letter to princesses in the front as well as a letter to parents with a section that explains the features and how to enhance the learning experience. Features including how to keep scripture "down in my heart", learn "beauty secrets", know facts about "Bible Princesses", and more including manners of "Princess Charming"! I thoroughly enjoyed going through the pages of this Bible from author Sheila Walsh and I truly think that this will be a great asset to have once AppleBlossom is a bit older. *grin*

God's Little Princess Devotional Bible is a fun, easy to understand book full of Bible stories and related activities (plays, songs, lessons about what the Bible verses teach). The lessons are good ones with an obvious or underlying God/Christ focus. The plays are Bible-verse based and look simple enough to put on. The worship songs are good ones, but only the words are included.
A good amount of Bible scripture from both the Old and New Testament (International Children's Bible translation) is included. The translation is generally a very good one for children, though younger children might have some questions about what's meant. (The book is labelled as for 4-7 year-olds, but I suspect it's more accurately for 5-9 year-olds.)
Occassionally, the full Bible story was not quoted when more of the story was needed to understand what's going on. In those cases, the reader's told where to go in the Bible to read the whole story. Unless a parent does this for the child, though, I'm not sure they would bother. I would have liked it if more of the story was included in those cases.
I'd recommend this book to any parent who wants their (younger) girls actively engaged in learning Bible stories and/or learning to become God's Little Princess (with godly manners to match).

“God’s Little Princess Devotional Bible" written by Sheila Walsh and illustrated by Meredith Johnson helps make it a little easier.
This Devotional Bible has it all for the up-and-coming princess in your life. Scriptures and memory verses are from the International Children’s Bible making it easier for your princess to understand God’s words. This unique book has many extras: songs, beauty tips to make their insides as beautiful as their outsides. There are role models for them to look up to such as Esther, Ruth and many more. Scripture promises have been included that show our children how to make Jesus their hero. Some stories have easy plays for princess and mother. There are manner, poise and charm lessons. There is a feature that shows your princess ways to love everyone in their family, and community.
Finally there are the Royal Truths: basic values that every princess should possess. I was reminded as a mother and grandmother that these same lessons apply to me as well as my daughter and grand-daughters. Remember once a princess always a princess. This book is for ages 4 – 7 but I believe girls 8 – 10 would enjoy it just as much.

What girls doesn't like to be a princess at least at some point in her life? Now little girls can read how to be a princess in Sheila Walsh's God's Little Princess Devotional Bible. Little girls - specifically 4 through 7 - will love this book and moms will enjoy reading it to their little princesses!
It's jeweled cover makes a little girl gravitate toward it and inside each page is filled with either a devotional thought or one of the neat little features.
My daughters loved the Bible stories, the fun illustrations, and easy-to-do activities. We especially enjoyed the sections titled beauty tips and how it creatively teaches little girls to be beautiful in God's eyes over outer beauty.
This devotional Bible is a great addition to the bookshelf of any little girl and would be a great birthday gift.

My girls and I read this book outloud every evening before bed. I love how the author takes Bible stories and facts and puts them into terms that little girls can appreciate. Well done!
