Children's Bibles, or Bibles for children, are often collections of Bible stories rather than actual translations of the Bible and are aimed at children.^[1] These adaptations of the Bible are written to be more understandable and entertaining for younger audiences.^[2]

There is a range of simplicity across various children's Bible publications. More image focused variations, often made for children aged 3-6, rely less on words to convey a message and prominently feature drawings and artistic interpretations of the Bible.^[3] While some publications quote directly from the Bible, others paraphrase the text. All of these different publications are created to appeal to audiences of different ages and levels of comprehension.
