Best bible reference books for children according to redditors

For my 7y old, I've used the Marcia Williams series to learn about various mythologies. She also has a book on God and His Creations if you want a basic exposure to Christianity alongside.

I've also used a book called One World, Many Religions to teach more about the various religious practices active today.

Not sure what book they were referencing, but we have Mary Pope Osbourne's book on religion. It's heavy reading for little kids, but has a lot of pictures to talk about, and then as the kids got older, they would understand more and more of it.

One World, Many Religions: The Ways We Worship is a great resource.

The book "one world, many religions" by Mary pope Osborne, the same author who does the magic treehouse series.

My son is still an infant so I haven't put this into practice yet. However, once my son is inevitably exposed to christianity and has questions, my goal is to teach him about christianity right alongside other world religions. If he asks, I plan to tell him that dad does not believe in any of these religions but many people do. I have purchased this book which looks like a nice survey of world religions, aimed at children, which does not advocate for any one religion. Hopefully the takeaway will be that people believe many different things, but that christianity does not deserve any less scrutiny simply because he will encounter christianity more than other faiths.

The "book" I use is a binder full of notes, handouts, and other miscellaneous papers I was given throughout the course of two semesters of Religion class. The teacher I had put most of his information and theories into a book (you can find it here). It's written for a young audience, but I find it extremely informative.

The original book was called "The Beginner's Bible Coloring Book". It's out of print, but the series is still around. I believe this page is still in this edition. The colors are real crayon color names that were sold by the same company, because, I kid you not, crayola had a few names that sent fundies into a tizzy about "godlessness".

This is the best one I've seen so far, thanks.

But you posted the mobile link, so I will post the fullsite link for the lazy:

I love the New Catholic Picture Bible (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/089942435X).

If you have kids or teens or just enjoy Graphic Novels this one is fantastic.
