I just have to endorse this incredible Bible story book we got Elisa for her birthday. It is super simple and has great pictures. The best thing about it is how it tells the story of the whole bible. This book is not your average piecemeal conglomeration of little Bible stories. In fact, some of the classic kids stories are not in it. Rather, it focuses on "the big picture" (get it?) of God's love and faithfulness, man's sin and God's plan for redemption. It provides such a great way to give the gospel message to your kids and help them connect the concepts of God and the Bible.
Elisa is still a little young to grasp the concepts, but the words and pictures are simple enough to still hold her attention a chapter at a time. I look forward to reading it to her for a long time. What's more, I am really enjoying getting this back to basics overview of God's work myself.
Check out this link from Amazon for more info. You can even flip through some sample pages. It's a good price here too, although I encourage you to pay a few more dollars and support your local CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE. http://www.amazon.com/Big-Picture-Story-Bible/dp/1581342772/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228143366&sr=8-1
