NLT Hands-on Bible, Tyndale for Kids, 2010, 1440 pages.
Reading Level: Middle Grades, ages 8-10
Recommended for: ages 8-10
Bottom Line: Though it leads off with some useful informational features, the text of the Hands-on Bible includes too much clutter and cartoon illustrations.
Busy, busy, busy! It’s like a never-ending Vacation Bible School between two covers. The book introductions are two pages long, each ending with a timeline (nice) and Jesus connection (nice), but once you get to the actual text, some pages are so loaded with cartoony illustrations and activities it’s hard to find. Not good for a study Bible—unless you have kids who like to stand on their heads and build rope swings while studying. I also do not like the goofy cartoons of Bible characters, especially Jesus. But if you can find one at a reasonable price it might be worthwhile for the activities.
