My First Handy Bible

Hendrickson Publishers (January 31, 2012)

This little Bible is awesome! The illustrations are beautiful and the size and shape with the handle are just perfect for my toddler to tote around. She started carrying it around as soon as she saw it. I’m impressed and a fan and I will definitely look into some of their other items to see what we might need.
