Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Bible Stories to Be Told to Children
Josephine Pollard · 2013
60/100
👎 Skip It
The biblical content is solid and the read-aloud intent is genuine, but Victorian-era prose is a real barrier for modern children — what was 'simple' language in the 1880s often requires an adult to translate on the fly today. Worth seeking out for families with an interest in historical children's religious literature, but most families will be better served by a contemporary retelling.
