The Under the Sea Holy Bible by Zondervan is just adorable.  It’s small in size (perfect for little arms to hold) and the cover is shiny and sparkly and all kinds of fun for kiddos.  This hardback Bible, which is in the New International Reader’s Version, seems to be a nod to the hugely popular Finding Nemo movie by Disney.  While I’m not a huge fan of borrowing from pop culture in Christian marketing, I actually believe that using the familiar, fun and whimsical under the sea theme will be a great way to get kids interested in the Bible – which would be a huge win in my opinion.  The cover of the Bible even has glittery sparkles, which is a sweet little touch!

The recommended ages for the Bible is 6-10 years old and I think that’s probably right on.  I asked my seven and nine year old daughters what they thought of the Bible and here’s what they had to say:

My nine year old said, “I LOVE this cover!  It’s so sparkly and it does look like Finding Nemo.  I like how it has the books of the Bible listed in pretty colors at the beginning.  I also like the little pictures in the Bible.  I want to have this for myself…literally.”

My seven year old said, “I LOVE it!  It’s amazing. Honestly I want it so much.”

I actually had a hard time getting it back from my nine year old because she just wanted to keep reading.  Pretty high praise as far as I’m concerned.

Within the Bible, there are three double sided, full color pages on topics such as The Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, famous children of the Bible and the ABC’s of becoming a Christian.  The words are big enough for kids to read especially considering the small size of the Bible.  There is not a ton of color inside the Bible – just plain scripture pages and the pages are a bit thin as they are in most Bibles, except for the special insert pages which are much thicker.  Here’s a picture of one of the inside pages.

I think any child would love to have this Bible even if just for the cover alone.  My girls have yet to give it back to me, so I believe it would be a wonderful gift for any kiddo in your life!
