Against everything we were ever taught, we do make judgements on first impressions and we do judge a book by its cover.
Even the very youngest children do the same. A gift will be judged on its appearance and a Bible will be treated just the same as any other book. If it’s bright, colourful and easy to use then they’ll love to have it, own it, handle it and use it.
Although babies and very young children may not be able to actually read a Bible - even a special edition baby's Bible, they will make a judgement as to the pleasure it gives them and to what it’s worth.
Choosing a first Bible for babies and the very young means finding a gift that’s a delight to give and receive now and as well as an investment in their future.
This means choosing:
The first reader of a Bible for babies and the very young will be a parent or other adult. First Bibles also need to be attractive to adults who’ll want to read it to the children.
Babies and young children are more likely to open and use a first Bible if it’s colourful with bright clear pictures. The text needs to large enough and simple for enough for children to want to know what it says even before they can read it.
Babies and young children will first encounter the Bible through being read to by parent and adults. As they grow up they’ll be able to read the Bible for themselves.
As they grow up, children will put aside the books and activities of their childhood and adopt those of the older child, teenager, youth and young adult.
