"Big Red" Holy Bible - Contemporary 3-D Art International Children’s Bible is a good choice for children age 8 and up, especially boys. The cover is attention grabbing as it is an almost holographic looking design. There are quite a few full color, detailed pictures throughout this Bible. Each depicts a scene from a particular Bible story. I love the International Children’s Bible translation, as it empowers younger children by giving them access to God’s Word. It is very readable and understandable. There are a few things I don’t care for in this particular Bible, however. The cover is very flimsy and mine is already crinkled and has edge wear after only a few days of use. The pictures are detailed and interesting, but they are grouped in sections throughout the Bible and don’t appear near the stories they depict. This makes it confusing and also makes the overall presentation seem very plain as there are whole sections with no illustrations what so ever. I would not give this as a gift Bible due to the flimsy structure, but I would use it with my own child as a good resource and a good translation for elementary aged kids. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
