●No child is too young to start learning the books of the Bible, thanks to The Beginner's Bible App for iPad. Produced by Zonderkidz, one of the most prominent names in early religious education, the app was based on "The Beginner's Bible," which, according to the publisher, is the bestselling storybook Bible of all time, having sold over 6 million copies since its release in 1989.
The app is aimed at children ages 2 to 6 years old and features Bible stories, coloring pages, games and audio, making "The Beginner's Bible" a fun and interactive experience that children can enjoy either with a parent, or all by themselves. According to Helen Schmitt, Senior Director of Marketing at Zondervan, the illustrations have interactive touch screen elements that will keep children engaged, and navigation is simple enough that even preschoolers will have no problem maneuvering through their favorite Bible stories.
