I am also looking for similar books as I'd like my 3 year old to understand cultural references. According to the linked discussion, an illustrated children's Bible should be fine if used as just a source for the stories as they were told.

There's this but I have no idea of its quality: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Mythology-Kids-Chrystine-Trooien/dp/1631775235&ved=2ahUKEwj55Kvb-qveAhUoTd8KHViRC7IQFjALegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw11c17Bt8mOosO2qNVUetvq

Honestly, your best bet might be Veggie Tales.

I'd suggest Christian Mythology for Kids. Does a good job of explaining everything in a non-believing way: Christian Mythology for Kids https://www.amazon.com/dp/1631775235/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_pQMoDb69WASB9

A friend of mine is Atheist and he had the same problem. His wife ended up writing this book: https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Mythology-Kids-Chrystine-Trooien/dp/1631775235

Copying my response to a similar post from 2 months ago.

I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old and I am mostly trying to focus on inoculating my kids against cult thinking by giving them a broad scientific knowledge and a love for mythology. (We spent a holiday with religious family and it was their first time exposed to dinner prayers and heaven talk and it was quite confusing for them.)

​

Books we currently read:

​

Gods and Heroes Popup book

The kids love choosing which flaps we'll open and read and we return to this book often. The hercules trials flip book and pantheon of the gods has them enthralled almost every time.

​

The Story of Life

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1786033429/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Amazing illustrations and easy to read both linearly or by choosing random pages. The pages on bacteria and lif moving onto land

​

The Story of Space

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1847807488/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The subject matter here is slightly more conceptual and I'll be honest the 4 year old gets a bit bored. My seven year old like to listen because he has learnt about the planets at school and has a rough recollection of words like black holes and super giants.

Lukewarm reception here. I tried to read a few of the stories but they were a bit too gory for my personal preference. The pages explaining angels, heaven and similar things were a bit more useful to me personally as it gave me simple terminology to help me explain what other family might believe.

​

Magical Myths and Legends

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magical-Myths-Legends-Michael-Morpurgo/dp/0192767356/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1552637566&sr=1-1&keywords=magical+myths+and+legends

Book of short stories. The BEST telling of hercules trials I've ever read for kids! It is so engaging and brilliantly told.

​

Includes:

Mulan

Icarus

Finn MacCool and the Giant's Causeway

The Giant of Mont Saint-Michel

The Lambton Worm

Legend of Robin Hood

Thor and the Stolen Hammer

Vulcan and the Fabulous Throne
