With over forty stories, the Candle Bedtime Bible, by Karen Williamson, and illustrated by Christine Tappin is perfect for parents and grandparents to read to young children.
One of the most interesting features of this book is the different lengths of the stories. There are three, five, and ten minute stories. If the reader has a shorter amount of time, read one of the three minute stories. If the reader has more time, read a ten minute story.
There are stories from both the Old and New Testament. Children will learn about Samuel, Joseph, Jesus, and other important people from the Bible.

My thoughts-
I thought the Candle Bedtime Bible, by Karen Williamson, and illustrated by Christine Tappin, would be a perfect bedtime book for young children. My children are eight and ten and they really enjoyed listening to the stories and looking at the illustrations.
I especially liked how there were stories of different time lengths. Since the stories were either three, five, or ten minutes, I could read the story that worked best for the amount of time we had. I do wish there were more ten minute stories, because the children enjoy learning more.
I enjoyed the variety of stories and the best ones were about Jesus. It was good for the children to learn about specific stories about Jesus and the parables he told.
I highly recommend the Candle Bedtime Bible to all people who have dealings with young children.
My daughter who is eight said, “I liked the illustrations. I liked the stories we read. I think this book would be good for kids my age to read to themselves.”
My son who is ten said, “I really liked the Candle Bedtime Bible. I liked how there were three, five, and ten minute stories. The different lengths of time are nice when you only have a certain amount of time to read. The illustrations were nice. I think this book would be good for people of all ages.”
