"100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs", by Stephen Elkins, is a delightful Bible storybook for young children. The book is divided into two sections; Old Testament and New Testament. There is a very helpful Table Of Contents in the front of the book. The Table of Contents lists the name of the story, the Bible verse that the story is based on and the name of a song that accompanies the story on the CD. Each story is very short and is written on one page in large print. There is also a large color illustration, a story summary and a life application sentence. Bible verses are included with each story so that you can show children where these stories are found in the Bible. There are two music CDs that contain 100 Bible songs that accompany the stories. The name of the song is listed on the page with the story. Many of the songs are popular Sunday School songs. Here are a few of the titles; Be Careful Little Eyes Who Built The Ark? Father Abraham We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder I'm In The Lord's Army Dry Bones This Is My Father's World Kumbaya The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock I Will Make You Fisher's Of Men I am a little disappointed that the lyrics to the songs are not printed in the book. It would also be helpful to have the song number printed with the story. You are given the title of the song but not the number on the CD. There are 50 songs on each CD so it takes a little of time to locate your song. I am going to use this book to supplement my Vacation Bible School material. The stories and songs are suitable for pre-school and elemenatry school children. I recommend this book to parents, Sunday School teachers and VBS teachers. It is great to find such a wonderful variety of stories and songs in one package.Read full review
I am a preschool teacher in a Christian setting and I use this book in the classroom every day! I absolutely love this book. The pictures are very bright and bold, which is great for the children. The stories are not pages long, they are very simple and to the point, which keeps the child's attention. Also, the words are not teeny tiny, the book has a nice large font. I also love how this book not only list songs that will go along with the story, but it also provides you with a CD of those songs! I found this to be extremely helpful in my daily planning. No longer am I scanning my brain (or the Internet) for songs that will match my stories. And because there are 100 stories in this book, it can carry me through about 5 months of planning! Another point to make is this book is a great size for the classroom, it's not too large and bulky, but it is large enough and durable enough that the children can handle it themselves without assistance. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants to teach children (in either the home or a Christian education setting) about the Bible in a fun and exciting way!Read full review
This is an excellent book! I use it weekly for ages 2, 3 and 4 year olds. The songs are great! Each story gives the passage from where it's found in the Bible. Each story has a suggested song from the cd. Each story has a Bible Verse. I can't praise this book enough. I have two copies in case one gets lost or misplaced. The pictures in the book are bright and well illustrated. I will continue to use it for years to come.
This is a book of bible stories with a music cd. It is a great way to teach young children the bible along with bible song. As well as a nice refresher for adults to stay refreshed in the simplicity of their faith.
