I bought this Big Rescue Bible for my son in Year 1 because I think it fits someone who just starts learning how to read: Font size not too small, not too heavy (hence avoided hardcover version), got introduction of each book, footnotes, side space for note taking, mini-dictionary, 20 pages of full color pictures, CEV text (which retains the form of and captures the spirit of King James version). And guess what, my little boy loves it so much that he reads it fervently (like unseen before) whatever the reason might be. We can only thank God, hope and pray that his early enthusiasm would be rolling like a snowball into the future.
