Lift-the-Flap Bible Stories for Young Children

In a sturdy board book, DeYoung and Krueger stage familiar stories of Noah’s Ark, David and Goliath, Jesus’s birth, the Resurrection, and others. Passages offer simplified descriptions: “A big crowd of people came to see Jesus one day. But they didn’t have anything to eat! And they were getting hungry. Jesus had a plan.” Higgins has a light, appealing art style, with jewel-toned buildings, kind human and animal figures, and playful visual textures. Liftable flaps contribute dimension to the scenes, revealing surprise images and additional story passages. A welcoming introduction to biblical tales. Ages 2–6. [em](Sept.) [/em]
