My Princess Bible by Andy Holmes Book Review

My Princess Bible is based on the popular format of My Pajama Bible. The new board book combines princess-like art of women of the Bible with art more reflective of the modern-day princesses who will learn of biblical women.My Princess Bible shares stories of 19 women of the Bible through a rhyming story and a short takeaway summary in prose.

Each story ends with two lines that remind the reader of valuable character traits of a princess; the little princesses are even encouraged to recite the learning of the biblical princess using her name in the blank instead: “________ is God’s special princess; ________ is sad when she does something bad” (the takeaway from the story of Eve). This format helps children see biblical women as princesses who teach us about godly principles. It also helps reinforce that the little girl reader is special and seen as a princess because she is created by God.

The final story (number 20) is taken from Psalm 139 and features the reader as the godly princess. It reminds the reader that princesses are daughters of the King and are loved by God. Little girls will love to read My Princess Bible over and over to learn about God’s princesses.

This is a great gift for any little girl. I love the fact that you can personalize it with inserting the child's name and the child loves it just as much. We read this book for our group of little ones at church and they all were excited when all their names were read aloud during the stories. Although the boys were not as enthusiatic as the girls (because of the princesses and no princes) they still enjoyed and listened intently.

I am so pleased to have this added to our collection of good books and I know that this will be read over and over. It is great that it is an easy read so that even the the struggling reader should have little problem sharing this book with a eager-eyed child.
