For the summer edition of St George's News, a Book to introduce young readers to The Bible, 'The Bible Is... For Me!' by Christine Tangvald. Paper backed and with colourful illustrations, 'The Bible Is... For Me!' provides a warm and enthusiastic introduction to the Bible. It uses the rebus reading system by using small pictures to teach new words. I particularly liked the interpretation of Noah counting the animals: - 1, 2 (picture of elephants) stomp, stomp! 1, 2 (picture of lions) roar, roar! 1, 2 (picture of snakes) eek, eek! Wonderful potential for storytime with actions! I also liked the way Bible truths are scattered throughout the Book. For example, 'The Bible tells me about God's people', illustrated with the parting of the Red Sea and with accompanying Bible verse, Exodus 14, 21-22. On the last page there is a Bible Treasure Hunt in the form of a Quiz. 'The Bible Is... For Me!' by Christine Tangvald. (Bethany Backyard). ISBN 0-642-2334-8. £2.99 Lynn Winter |
