My Sing-Along Bible: 50 Easy-Read Stories + 50 Fun Bible Songs (Wonder Kids)

The mother and small child liked it very much.

My grandchildren love this and so do I. Great purchase!!

Everything! I actually already had the book but have misplaced the cd so needed another one.

My son loves this book and the songs! They are short songs so they don't drive parents crazy. It has been a great car ride activity.

Very disappointed, Stories are only a paragraph long, and there was only two songs on the CD that I recognize.

What I Like: My Sing - Along Bible, created by Stephen Elkins, is a hardcover book outlined with a short bible story on the top half (Let's Read) of colorfully illustrated pages, followed by the lyrics on the lower half (Let's Sing) of the pages and is in biblical order. Each pairing of bible story and song lyrics are given a themed title making it easier for children to understand what they are learning and singing about and while making it easier for parents to find a particular lesson/song they would like to sing along to. For example, the theme for the story of Creation is titled Who Made Me?The songs are sung by children and range from hymn-like songs to upbeat songs the children can clap and dance along to. There are fifty songs in total. I believe the vast collection should keep children (and parents) from getting bored with the same song choices. The songs are very short and easy for the children to learn and memorize.Many years ago when I taught pre-school aged bible study at my church, I would have utilized this book and I think Pre-school aged Bible School teachers would enjoy this resource.What I Dislike: While the actual hardcover book is fairly easy to navigate due to being in biblical order and each stoey titled, the CD unfortunately is not. I used my son's XBox to play the CD and the song tracks are not titled but instead numbered (the track numbers are in numerical order). The songs are in the same order of the book and if you allow the CD to play in order, you shouldn't have trouble, but if you wanted to choose a particular lesson out of order, finding the song that matches is a little difficult.I can imagine that after playing the CD many times, you will get to know which track is which, but I find it very inconvenient that the tracks are untitled and I have to waste time trying to match the lesson with the track number.A very minor thing that I didn't like was that the cover of a the My Sing-Along Bible has an illsutration of Jonah. If I based this book solely by its cover, I would have neve imagined it to be a bible for children but instead a storybook about Jonah.I found what I disliked the most was that some of songs do not contain all of the lyrics. The book may only have the lyrics to the chorus as opposed to the entire songs, which is usually quite short. Another minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

"My Sing-Along Bible" created by Stephen Elkins is a great Bible story book for your little ones. This is an illustrated story book with 50 easy to read stories from the Bible, along with a CD of 50 songs corresponding to the stories. It also has two bonus songs of "Books of the Bible: Old Testament and New Testament."With experience as a Sunday School teacher, a book like this is a great tool to teach young children about God and His Word, especially with a sing-along version. This specific book is geared towards younger children, ages 3-7. However, I feel this would be a great start even for babies and toddlers. They are at that age where music can really be a great way to learn.The book format is simple. Each story consists of "Let's Read", a Bible verse, and then a "Let's Sing" section. The "Let's Read" section is the story section consisting of a paragraph to read along with your child. The book also has wonderful and cute illustrations to keep your little one interested. Then the main theme is in the middle of the page where the Bible verse is located. Next, it's the "Let's Sing" section with only the the chorus version of the full song on the CD printed, in case your little one wants to sing a long. On the opposite page with the illustrations, there's a little lesson printed to correspond with theme of the story, song and Bible verse. As to the songs, classics such as "Jesus Loves Me", "O Give Thanks", "God is Great"...etc are all part of this series. Keep the book and CD in your nursery or playroom for a quick story time with your little one.My Sing-Along Bible definitely is an easy to read, to teach and to learn book by Mr. Elkins.NOTE: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, Tyndale House Publishers for an honest review.

He just love it. He will not put it down.

It's going to last long because of its hard cover

Got this for my daughter for Easter. It is exactly what I was hoping for.

Fun short stories with a verse and thought and songs that are actually nice to listen to! (a rarity in kids music!)
