100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs – Book Review
100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs is a children’s Bible story book, that includes two CDs, each with 50 songs for children. The book is divided into two sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Each story is approximately one page long, beginning with a Bible verse. Following each story, there are some short comments, summarizing what God did in the story and how the reader can obey God. Cute color pictures help to illustrate each story.
The two CDs are filled with short Biblical songs that are easy for children to sing along to.
This is the first children’s book I have reviewed. I used this as a devotional book for my 4 year old son. The stories are short and he had no problem being attentive. I really liked the summary statements after each story. It seems beneficial to bring it all together, to help children understand what they just heard.
The book is hard cover and is good quality. The illustration was well done, colorful and catching the attention of children. The stories were simplified versions of Bible stories. The stories stayed in line with what is in the Bible, just making it easier for children to understand. I recommend this book to parents with young children, probably around age five and under.
