I thought both of them were really good. The Big Picture does an excellent job of giving an overview of the bible’s basic storyline, with an emphasis on God’s kingship, and the coming of the great King. It emphasizes the whole land/seed/blessing motif (although not in those words, but talks of God’s big promise, God’s people, God’s place, etc.). The artwork was excellent too.

The Jesus Storybook didn’t have as simple and clear a synopsis of the overarching story of the bible, in my opinion, but it did point specific events to their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus. In other words, their redemptive history might not have been quite as well developed, but their typology was more explicit. The Jesus Storybook also had more text for each story, and seemed to have been written for a slightly older audience.

If I had to pick one to recommend over the other, it would be the Big Picture Story Bible. But both of them are really good.
