You’ve heard of Disney World; now welcome to Bible World!
This search-and-find book visualizes various Bible genres as a series of “lands” in a theme park with detailed, fun, and colorful Where's Waldo-style illustrations.
As children explore these Bible "lands", they’ll discover for themselves the way Scripture has been collected and organized—from Genesis to Revelation. They will also see the main theme that runs throughout the Bible—God’s promise of a rescuing King and its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
Explanations of the different Bible genres are included, as well as ...specific Bible heroes and events for children to spot. It's a fun and engaging way for kids to learn more about the Bible.

We love Welcome to the Bible World! I got it for a long road trip we had and my 4 years old son and I love it so much that it has been our bedtime book for the last 4 weeks! We go through one “entrance” a day, talk about the Bible stories and even make up our own “seek and find” items.
The illustrations are very nice and the Bible references are so clever! It became a favorite and ...it’ll be our Christmas gift to all the kids in our neighborhood this year. So glad we found this book!
Welcome to BibleWorld is a fun children's book by author Mike Nappa. The book contains vibrant, engaging pictures by illustrator Emiliano Migliardo. The book is about a fictional amusement park and each section contains a theme park ride that corresponds to a literary genre of the Bible. Welcome to BibleWorld is like The Good Book Company's Seek and Find books and it aims to teach children to understand the Bible literarily. Each page presents readers with the opportunity to look for different objects that represent different Bible stories.
The objects are listed as bullet points and within parenthesis next to each object are the chapters and verses for finding the corresponding accounts in the Bible. The object lists contain words only and not pictures so this book is probably best for older children. I would have appreciated if pictures of the hidden objects would have been included with the lists because it would allow my kids to explore the book on their own.
I appreciated the emphasis on exploring the genres of the Bible because while my kids enjoyed looking at the book, they were also learning about approaching the Bible literarily. Understanding the Bible as literature is something I didn't understand as a child so I'm thankful that this book makes it easy to introduce my children to accurate Bible reading skills early on.
Each area of the BibleWorld amusement park contains a brief overview of that genre of Scripture. The overviews are simple and helpful for young readers and even those who are new to reading the Bible. Although this is a children's book, I believe that the summaries are helpful for readers of all ages who are hoping to gain a simple overview of the entire Bible. We really enjoyed Welcome to BibleWorld and I hope to see similar books published in the future!
I received Welcome to BibleWorld compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
"Welcome to BibleWorld" cleverly imagines different parts of Scripture as a theme park, with each section of the park representing a subset of the Bible, such as the Minor Prophets, the gospels, and Paul's letters. The book explores the Bible from beginning to end in a unique and funny way, with text from Mike Nappa to guide the reader and detailed seek-and-find illustrations from Emilano Migliardo. This book is similar to the Where's Waldo? series, and I pored over the pages for about forty-five minutes to find all of the hidden images.
Many elements of this book made me laugh, like "Solomon's Smoochies" as The Tunnel of Love in the "Poets' Paradise" spread. There are lots of funny details for people to recognize, and the seek-and-find guide includes Bible references for each of the hidden objects readers are looking for. For example, there is a hidden shepherd's staff in "Poets' Paradise," with Psalm 23:1 as the reference. This book is a delightfully unconventional way to explore the Bible, and Mike Nappa provides simple, child-friendly explanations of each section of the Bible.
I highly recommend "Welcome to BibleWorld" as both a teaching resource and a fun read. I enjoyed finding every hidden detail, and would recommend this book for elementary-aged kids, teens, and adults. Although other seek-and-find books from the Good Book Company are geared towards younger children, this one is satisfyingly complex and difficult for older readers, and the humor throughout also skews towards an older age. However, this could be a great activity for younger children if they are doing it with an older sibling or a parent who can help guide them and provide hints. Overall, I found this book quirky, fun, and delightful, and I will definitely buy copies as gifts in the future.
