Read With Me Bible (2000, Hardcover, Revised)

The good things about this Bible are that it does contain major stories of the Bible with very colorful illustrations that children like. I find however that the very modern language used for the text makes teaching your child traditional Bible verses somewhat awkward. Even well-known passages have different wording that sometimes make the verse almost non-recognizable. I supplement this Bible with other texts for my son and sometimes I "translate" some verses to more closely resemble the King James, New King James or New American versions. Overall, my son enjoys being read to from this Bible. He asks for it every night!
