4.0 out of 5 stars Words to read, watch, or listen to, December 11, 2006

Reviewed by Tammy Petty Conrad for Reader Views (11/06)

This children's book includes forty Bible stories with bright and cheerful illustrations including the actual Bible verse it is taken from. Stories are included both from the Old and New Testaments. Better yet, there is an accompanying DVD which includes three hours of viewing with the words highlighted on the bottom of the screen. This will not only ground children in the literature of the Bible, but can't help but improve their reading and pronunciation skills with repeated viewings.

It is recommended for ages 3 - 8, but I would imagine it is better suited to the younger of that range. The illustrations while beautiful are not animated and I'm not sure how long it will keep the attention of older kids. While there are forty stories, there is no menu to select which story you would like to view, so that might be frustrating to children who would like to watch their favorite over and over.

The songs in between stories remind me of the days when my daughter sang in the children's church choir many years ago. I can see the little ones dancing along and trying out the lyrics as they watch. It won't take too long before they know the words by heart! Also, they will get the message of the Bible.

"Read `n' See DVD Bible" is a great gift book and would be treasured by most young children growing in their faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing Bible!!!, November 30, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase

What a great find! I ran across this bible at a Christian Bookstore and purchased it for my 4 year old daughter. And it is a great hit with both of us. The stories are short but in depth enough for ages 3-10. The songs that accompany each story are very catchy and reinforces the story. This is a must have bible for every child. It's cheaper on amazon and I'm buying a few more to give as gifts this Christmas. The DVD "reads" the story and has music and sound effects with it. The children can also follow along in the book.

I have fallen in love with this bible. You will not go wrong if you purchase this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect to Introduce Bible stories for young ages, January 29, 2007

By	Bonnie Neely - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Read 'n' See DVD Bible by Stephen Elkins is a simple beginning reader Bible and also suitable for pre-schoolers not yet able to read. The pictures are bright and cartoonish and on every page. The book comes with a DVD which uses the same cartoonish illustrations and interesting voices to read the book to the child. Each Bible story (Old and New Testament) is a very simplified version of many of the most significant Biblical characters, with the lesson of each story emphasized in a one-liner
