Wonderfully enjoyable video for toddlers/preschoolers

I was excited to receive The Read & Share DVD Bible Volume 1 from Thomas Nelson. My four year old son was excited to watch it with me!

The Read & Share DVD is 13 Bible stories told in short 3 minute format. It starts in the beginning with Creation. Many Old Testament favorites like Adam and Eve and the Flood are included as well as a few from the New Testament like John the Baptist and Jesus’ birth. The cartoons are fun to watch, and the narrator in the background has a pleasant voice to hear. Extras are included on the DVD such as a behind the scenes look as well as interviews with kids.

Due to the condensed version of this series, obviously some details had to be omitted from the stories. I felt the right things were included though to tell the stories accurately for young children to understand and be able to follow along. The language used is very appropriate and understandable to a child’s vocabulary, which is another thing I appreciate about this video.

My son thoroughly enjoyed watching this with me. I look forward to the next volume from Thomas Nelson. I would recommend these videos for a family with young children. They are also appropriate to supplement Bible class lessons.

Bethany,

Glad you had this time together with Caleb. I'm thinking of your family and taking a moment to say a prayer for you.

Blessings my sweet friend.

This is a wonderful resource for today's little ones! Thanks for the review. I'll need to get one for the learning center to loan out.
