Magnificat's New Illustrated Bible for Children

Monica McConkey reviews a new children's Bible in comic-book format for kids 7 and up.

I am so excited to review this NEW Illustrated Bible for Children by the Magnificat division of Ignatius Press. It’s beautifully illustrated with relatively simple and very sweet illustrations in a comic-book format for kids 7 years old and up. The font is a nice size with a combination of CAPS for narration and upper and lower case for dialogue. The people are smiley cartoon (my categorization) in gentle and friendly settings, color, and formatting.

The Illustrated Bible is formatted into 2- or 4-page comic-book spreads covering the key stories of the Old Testament and the key events in the life of Jesus as well as His teachings through His actions or parables.

It’s a beautiful Bible and would make an EXCELLENT Reconciliation or First Holy Communion Gift … or an anytime gift to my sweet little goddaughter Marielle. (Don’t tell her!)
