The Big Picture Story Bible

The Good:
The art is nice and my kids LOVE looking through it
I like how they go through God's promise from Adam to Jesus
It's well written, suitably simplified and easy to understand.

The Bad:
I read this book to my 3 and 4 1/2 year old. I didn't find it to be age appropriate. There are some violent stories told that I didn't feel my kids were ready for.
None of Jesus' stories told (No parables at all!)
Recounts None(!!) of Jesus' teaching (that doesn't directly tie to being saved). No Beatitudes. No Sermon on the Mount.

Short review: This is my favorite children's bible. Recently started reading it to my niece and rediscovered why. Beautiful artwork, clear writing.
