Child's bibles are nothing new. Featured here is an early example of a child's Bible in German from 1736, containing a few simple illustrations. It is apart of the Kuykendall Bible Collection, and can currently be viewed on display with other samples at the 2024 SBC Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.

Famously, the KJV was partly a response to the notes associated with the Genevan Bible, which tended to be Calvinistic and used politically-stigmatized language, like "tyranny/tyrant." Ironically, this didn't stop the publishers of this edition from annexing the notes of the Genevan Bible to the KJV. Here you can see the famous 'tyrants' note from Exodus 2.
