Beginning with God: Book 1
Description
Beginning with God helps parents with young children to explore the Bible with their child. This book provides a simple way to start your child in a regular habit of reading God's Word and growing to know God, who loves them.
We hope this book will help you and your child to explore the Bible together. Along the way you will read about the beginning of everything; meet Abraham, who was called a 'friend of God'; and be thrilled by the wonderful things said and done by God's perfect Son, Jesus. But most of all, we hope that reading God's special book, the Bible, will help your child to know God, who loves them.
Beginning with God has been designed to work with The Beginner's Bible, but it can also be used with most other infant Bibles.
In today's culture so much pressure is put on us to feed our children well. We pray that this material will help those of us with pre-schoolers to nourish them with the word of God.
Each day is split into the following sections:
The main course: read today's true story from the Bible; answer some simple questions; pray together; then stick in today's colorful picture of the story.
Appetizer: an optional activity to grab your child's attention before the story.
A snack for the journey: a conversation to have while out and about.
Make it and munch it: optional craft activities to help your child remember today's true story.

Brilliant
(Review written for 'Beginning with God with The Beginner's Bible')
My 3 year old loves Beginning with God, and the Beginner's Bible is an excellent first Bible. We had been given a different first Bible which was too advanced so I highly recomment the Beginner's Bible. Have ordered the remaining books of Beginning with God and then will start over again with Book 1 as there are extra stickers included. 
Excellent resource
My nearly 3 year old enjoys these notes. Admittedly we only do the main part of the study each day but she enjoys the short bible stories that correspond with the study using the bible story book recommended with this study. The questions do require her to think about the story that has been explored without requiring complicated answers, therefore her enjoyment is enhanced when she correctly answers a question.
The short prayers have also helped her to sit quietly and repeat the words that are suggested in the study. She also occasionally says her own prayers also. Really good habit that she looks forward to each evening. I'm going to be running through the books very quickly at this rate!!
The stickers have appealed to my daughter - sticking a sticker on the page when she completes her story and questions. Extra stickers are also supplied - handy for when we will do the book again at a later date. Great that extra stickers can be purchased without buying the book again.
An excellent resource for preschoolers who want to explore but keeping things simple for them so they don't become bored too quickly.
