Read and Share DVD Bible volume 1

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.

The Bible repeatedly says we should teach our children about God and the things of God. As a parent this is something that I take seriously although my daughter is still a toddler. How wonderful then that we can do this in a variety of different formats. Thomas Nelson have provided us with a beautifully illustrated DVD that is very watchable. On this DVD there are thirteen Bible stories that are each retold in three minutes as cartoons. These cartoons are very well done and even have a three D feel to them. The narration is excellent and while using poetic licence they are faithful to the Biblical accounts. I really enjoyed watching it with my little girl but she was just a little young yet to follow it. The DVD also has some useful resources you can print off, such as colouring sheets, which my wife finds helpful for sharing with children when she does the creche at church. She also shared the DVD with all the children in the creche and they gave it a thumbs up and so did the moms as the children sat still throughout the whole thing. I heartily recommend this DVD to parents and toddlers. I am looking forward to getting volume 2!
