Children -- Books and reading; Children's literature -- Bibliography
The idea is to make the Bible more attractive to boys and girls. The
verse numbering is omitted, as are genealogies and such parts of the
Book as are not included by parents when reading aloud to their
children. Each incident or story forms a chapter as in a secular book. 8
