Author: Cecilie Olesen
Illustrator: Gustavo Mazali
Publisher: Hendrickson Publishers
January 2012
ISBN: 978-8772473048
Genre: Bible story book for toddlers
MY FIRST HANDY BIBLE is a ideal solution for babies and toddlers to have their own Bible. It comes with a yellow handle, making it easy for them to carry, there is a “lock” to hold it securely closed, and it is hard cover, with hard pages, so they won’t tear anything.
MY FIRST HANDY BIBLE includes some great Bible stories in simple toddler language, making it easy to read the stories about Adam and Eve, Joseph, Jesus, and Heaven (with more in between).
My daughter was excited to get this Bible in the mail, and even though she is beyond the toddler stage, she enjoyed carrying it around and reading the stories to herself. MY FIRST HANDY BIBLE will make an ideal birthday or Christmas or anytime gift for your favorite preschooler, or would be a great shower gift for a new baby. The colorful illustrations are sure to delight even the littlest ones. $12.95 hardcover. 61 pages.

I am always looking for Bible story books for children of all ages. And I definitely see the need for having bible story books in board book format. I know that not every Bible story can be included, and I can appreciate that in making an effort to cover the Bible Genesis through Revelation, that certain stories even well-known stories had to be skipped. And the stories included have been simplified so they can be retold in just three or four sentences. This one does have some of the basic stories at least. So it would be a nice addition to your collection of Bible story books. (But, I'd hope that it wouldn't be the only one.)

Received it as a christening gift for my son. A good way to teach children about Bible stories in a short easy format

My First Handy Bible: Timeless Bible Stories for Toddlers, written by Cecilie Olesen and illustrated by Gustavo Mazali, provides an overview of the Bible's most popular stories from Genesis to Revelation. Each story is summarized in a few sentences. Just enough of the story is introduced that younger readers can easily understand without being confused by details. The Biblical reference for each story is given on the page so that older children and their parents can explore the story more deeply if they desire to do so. Bright, sharp colors effectively catch the attention of children and solid-board style construction provides durability needed by toddlers.
I enjoyed reading My First Handy Bible: Timeless Bible Stories for Toddlers to my five month old. The book is rated for ages one to three and my child didn't have the ability to comprehend the stories, but the illustrations did catch her attention. I liked how the Bible reference for each story is included on the same page as this could facilitate further discussion, especially with an older toddler. I was pleasantly surprised that so many stories were included. The latch that holds the book shut and the handle for carrying it are great. Even at this age, my daughter was able to grasp and touch different parts of the book. Also, the sturdiness of this book is great for a child that doesn't yet understand that pages are made to stay in a book. :)

Bright yellow handle, a board cover that is designed for a toddler/or baby; "My First Handy Bible" is perfect for the youngest members in the home or as a "First Bible" gift for that youngster in your life.
Durability is what is impressive with the bible, followed with the bright illustrations, that is enough to keep the kid(s) attention.
Composed of simple sentences,"My First Handy Bible" really does make for a good first time bible for the little ones.
Covering all 66 books of the bibles, but covering with references for the parents to look up if the child (though with the age group, not as likely) to go over deeper with the child,"My First Handy Bible" has all the hallmarks for a "fun" good first time bible for young children; It gives them something to call their own and a way to keep them busy while at church or in the backseat of the vehicle.
For parents looking for a good beginner bible for toddlers and just for the babies to "have", this is highly recommended to give as a gift.
"My First Handy Bible" does what it needs to do; It gets the attention of the younger children, its colorful, it lets them have something that is for them to have and call their own, and just really have the winning combination that makes this a good first bible.

This is a great little book for toddlers who love mimicking Mom and Dad by taking their own "Bible" to Church! It has a nice sturdy little handle on the back for easy carrying and a Child friendly latch to keep it closed. I like that the handle is on the spine so the pages hang down even if the clasp were to break off the Bible would still hang in the right position when carried.
I also love the card board pages which will hold up to little fingers learning to sit and turn pages. Perfect child friendly size to fit their little laps and hands. A great teaching aid.
The one thing that lowered this to a 4 star instead of a 5 in my opinion was that, as it tells each story in two or three lines for the toddlers (which is great)it doesn't give a verse to read to them to go along with it. It is called My First Handy "BIBLE" but doesn't have Bible verses in it. I think this would be a very important addition to the book.
I received this book from B&B Media for my personal opinion and honest review. I have been honest and straight forward in my opinions.

What an adorable idea for a toddler's first Bible! Toddler's love carrying things around, and the bright yellow handle on "My First Handy Bible" will allow them to carry this book around with ease.There is also a neat little clasp that will keep the book closed. A very sturdy book, with sixty-three Bible stories that are written in very simplistic sentences that will be easy for your youngster to understand.From Genesis to Revelation this book touches on some of the most popular Bible stories, such as Adam and Eve, Daniel and the Lions Den, and the last meal just to name a few. The beautiful illustrations will certainly capture a youngsters eye and imagination as well. What a neat way to introduce your toddler to the Bible, this book would make a perfect gift for toddlers, but I think it would be great for the preschool set as well. The simple sentence structure will have your preschooler anxious to read this one on their own.

My children quite enjoyed reading the stories from "My First Handy Bible", from the colourful and interesting illustrations to the short stories that recap many popular stories from the Old and New Testament of the Bible. As a parent, I really appreciated how each short story provided the appropriate Bible reference, allowing me to look up the full story in the Bible to share further details about the story when my children were especially interested in doing so. The book itself is a very sturdy board book, so that it will withstand rough handling by little hands, and my son especially liked being able to carry the book around by its handle. The stories themselves, while simply written, do a good job of usually capturing the essence of the story, which is hard to do with only a few lines!
I strongly recommend this version of the Bible for little ones being introduced to the Bible, and award it 4 out of 5 stars.

First this is darling, right sized Bible for little hands. They cannot hurt it, it is nice and chunky. The cover is full of bright colors to draw them in. It has a bright yellow clasp and handle ...to drag it around!!
The pages are thick cardboard, with wonderfully illustrated little stories. You are able to hold the little one on your lap and they can point and hold the book as you share the verses.
What a great gift this would make some happy little one.

My three year old got this for his birthday and he just loves having his own Bible.
The stories are great; short and sweet for the littler ones.
And the illustrations are so colorful and fun!
This is a great treat. Even my daughter who is only one, loves to carry this around the house!
DID I mention the awesome little handle for carrying along the spine of the book! :-))
