Don't let the unusual title deter you -- this is one of the best children's Bibles I have ever seen. Sally Lloyd-Jones' storytelling is creative and compelling.

The illustrations engage both children and adults, and the stories appeal to both conservative and progressive readers. My 4-year-old nephew sat through three stories, one after another, while his siblings played around us. I especially enjoyed the birds-eye view of the Apostles with their mouths agape at the Ascension.
