We received the Read and Share DVD Bible, Volume 1 today from Thomas Nelson Publishers, and I popped it in our player as soon as naptime was over...I am very impressed with this DVD. My daughter is currently watching it—at her request—for the second time in a row.
One problem I typically have with children’s media: annoying to listen to. This DVD is actually pleasing to the ears! The music is a gentle combination of classical instruments and it nicely complements the narration. The narrators’ voices (both a man and a woman), as well as the characters’ dialogue, are completely normal and unforced. And they speak so clearly that even my 19-month-old son was paying attention (for longer than usual).
Another problem I usually have is accuracy. We have received gifts of Bible books for the kids before that are very cute, but not very accurate. It is important to me that in teaching my children that the Bible is true, that the Bible story books I read to them reflect that truth. This DVD is Biblically accurate!
Of the 13 short tracks, eight are from the Old Testament and five from the New. They include the oft-told stories of Noah’s ark and Jesus’ birth, but also lesser-known stories like Jacob wrestling with God and Jesus’ baptism and temptation.
Beautifully done! This one’s a keeper that I won't mind letting the kids watch!
