A NOTE FROM MELODY + EMILY’S MOM

The Once Upon a Time Holy Bible is a full-text New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) translation. It features 6 Bible stories with 4 full-color illustrated pages for each story.  In the third picture under Melody’s review, you can see that the cover is sparkly, which everyone knows would be Emily’s favorite thing about this Bible if she reviewed it. :p I would have liked to see a few more stories highlighted, but like Melody said, I do like that it is a full Bible that is lightweight. It makes for easy transport if you bring it to church or Bible study. The highlighted stories draw the readers into what other great stories may be in the Bible. (It also comes in a pink leathersoft edition.)

The Once Upon a Time Storybook Bible has beautiful illustrations. There are 18 Old Testament stories and 15 New Testament stories. Each story includes a Bible verse, “Once Upon a Time,” the story on 4 pages (1 page is usually a full-page illustration), and ends with a Happily Ever After Scripture reference.

I do love the reminder that the stories in Bible are NOT fairy tales. They did happen once upon a time, and there is an ultimate Happily Ever After story.
