Review by Booklist Review

Gr. 4-7. Considering the spectacular graphics of most Dorling Kindersley books, this illustrated Bible may be something of a disappointment. The book combines small photographs with rather listless pastel artwork. The color photos show artifacts, clothing, architecture, and various plants and animals of biblical times, among many other items. The big draw here is not the art, but rather the fluent retellings and the chapters of background information that place the stories in their historical and geographical contexts. Topics include life in Canaan, the land of the New Testament, and the early Church. A comprehensive volume that should find a place on religion shelves. ~--Ilene Cooper

Review by Horn Book Review

The handsome volume contains unremarkable illustrations, but the color photographs and maps will help readers to better visualize the settings and characters. Background information on each story and on the Bible in general adds interest to the text, which is retold in a clear manner. The religious consultants for the book include Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant clergy and scholars. From HORN BOOK 1994, (c) Copyright 2010.
