A Curious Hieroglyphic Bible is an early American children's book. Published in 1788 by Isaiah Thomas in Worcester, Massachusetts,[1][2] it is a Bible partially in rebus form (some words replaced by pictures). It is not to be confused with a similar work of the same name published in 1784 in London by Thomas Hodgson.[3][4]

The book, of which only four remaining copies are known to exist, contains almost 500 woodcuts. This was the first American rebus bible, a popular form in the late 18th century for introducing children to bible reading.[1] The book was one of 88 books included in the Library of Congress's 2012 exhibition "Books That Shaped America".[2]
