My Thoughts: We have The Action Bible and I was curious how this one would differ. The Action Bible is geared for kids 9-12, and the Action Storybook Bible is geared for 8 and under.
Once again, the illustrations are just fantastic! Somehow the illustrator manages to make the images a bit more childlike, while not being "babyish" in any way, and in keeping with the same comic book style as The Action Bible.
The wording is also simplified, which is helpful, particularly for those who would like to read it themselves. From that perspective, I think this book would be just as applicable to the 9-12 group. The Action Bible had more difficult phrases that needed more of an explanation, while this one children would be able to read more independently.
I loved the devotional style endings of each section. "God in Action" sums up something that we can learn about God from the story, "Faith in Action" discusses how to apply it to our lives, and lastly, it ends with a prayer to wrap it up.
I couldn't recommend this book more highly!
