I recognized the illustrations in an earlier version as being the work of UK illustrator Alan Parry. I think that his Bible illustrations were originally done for 'Ladybird books'. Alan Parry's pictures have been used a lot in different children's Bibles and more recently in illustrated Bible Encyclopedias.<br /><br />I came across a more recent ESV children's Bible but I didn't recognize the illustrations. Does it mention who the illustrator is?Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-9817936959247831652009-08-14T21:23:03.797+01:002009-08-14T21:23:03.797+01:00I really like the ESV children's Bible.

But ombine that with a solid translation and some good resources in the Bible... it's tops for me! (I also appreciate that it is a full-text Bible, not a Bible story book.)JTayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442802255149975823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-21415098225916571442009-07-06T12:31:01.715+01:002009-07-06T12:31:01.715+01:00Thanks for that Tara!

I want them all. Unless maybe I think of it "collecting"?? Actually the bible I remember from my childhood that made the most impact on me was the Good News Bible and it's little black line drawings. Funny ha? I would search through looking for all the drawings and would get excited when I found one. They were really special.<br /><br />TaraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198727140716370129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-85990464102661914782009-06-23T23:03:55.951+01:002009-06-23T23:03:55.951+01:00I have a soft spot for 'The Bible in Pictures ...I have a soft spot for <i>'The Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes'</i> by Kenneth N.

If I were a wagering person I would say you can probably guess, but I'm excited to hear about the possibility of a Elsie Anna Wood picture Bible. Maybe by then my second million will be available, and I'll be able to purchase (at least) one!

Not a Bible but containing many illustrations of gospel stories. A mixture of colour paintings and b/w illustrations. I still own this book today from my childhood. <br />I have to be honest and say historical accuracy isn't always paramount in a children's book illustration. As a child I preferred illustrations that I responded to on an emotional level. Not an intellectual level. That didn't concern me. I wasn't interested in clever art but art that I liked.Paul Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087250570346996589noreply@blogger.com
