Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Family Story Bible
Ralph Milton · 1996
74/100
👍 Worth It
Ralph Milton's retelling is genuinely broad — covering prophets, wisdom books, and letters that most family Bibles skip — and the 500-plus illustrations make it a visual feast for young listeners. The one real caution is for parents who want children to know where the story ends and the author's embellishments begin, since Milton takes considerable creative liberty with dialogue and scenes.
