This review is from: Hymns for a Kid's Heart, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

This is a supberb means to teach my grandson about God's Word through hymns. The selection of hymns is very good. As a musician, I am highly pleased with the quality of the singing and of the arrangements. I hope to share this with many of my friends and family this Christmas. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Hymns for a Kid's Heart, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)

We love this book/CD!!! I agree with the other reviewer who was disappointed in the inclusion of "America the Beautiful" because it's not in the same camp as the others chosen. But I couldn't have chosen any better options than the other 11 hymns: "Holy, Holy, Holy," "A Mighty Fortress," "This is my Father's World," "O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing," "How Firm a Foundation," "Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart," "Take My Life and Let it Be," etc....

I like the book's organization, the short devotionals and and background stories have been on our kids' levels, and the CD is nice. Our children (two 4-year olds and a 5-year-old) LOVE it and request it every morning. My 5-year-old can now sing all 4 verses of "Holy, Holy, Holy" and the first 1 1/2 verses of "My Father's World."

If you are interested in teaching your children to sing hymns, this is a great resource to have at home. We spend about a month on each hymn.
