Summary: Great Pictures
Comment: The pictures in this book are excellent quality for adults and some kids. It does NOT keep a child's attention with the King James Version text, and therefore has been a waste of money for me. I think in its day, it was a great book, but since the use of language has changed from King James, kids don't relate to it as well.

Still, the pictures are well-done.

Summary: Classic illustrated text for children
Comment: Dorothy Lathrop (1891-1980) was a well-known illustrator who was commissioned to draw the pictures in this book planned by Helen Dean Fish (1889-1953), who is often listed as the author. However, Helen Fish only wrote the introduction and selected the passages from the King James version of the Bible which accompanied these beautiful drawings. The book was awarded the 1938 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a book for children, the first Caldecott Medal ever awarded (the Melcher family had just established the Randolph Caldecott Medal). Any student of children literature probably should include this book in their collection. However, modern day children may not be too excited with the pictures. Nevertheless, the book is great to supplement storytelling from the Bible.
