Hillside Education's site offers the suggestion of brushing th finished pictures with vegetable oil for a stained glass effect, and we did that!

Thomas Craughwell has a knack for informative yet captivating writing! This is a very nice first Bible for a beginning reader, and of course it could be read aloud as well. Each page has an illustration and a Bible verse in bold, ranging from Genesis to Revelation.

Mr. Craughwell's retelling of the biblical stories, however, makes up for these minor obstacles!
