REVIEW:
The Play Along Bible by Bob Hartman and illustrated by Susie Poole is a fantastic book for engaging children into the stories of the Bible by acting out the stories. In The Play Along Bible children use facial expressions, vocal phrases and hand motions to create their own dialog to act out the stories. Children learn by playing and as children grow they learn better by doing instead of reading or watching. Teaching to young children is vital to how they grow up. Sometimes the motions seem silly but children love them. The Play Along Bible is an excellent book that teaches children stories that they actually remember. Susie Poole captivates children attention with her illustrations as the story is being read which makes The Play Along Bible a great book to just read even if you don't act the stories out. I highly recommend The Play Along Bible to anyone who is teaching Bible stories to their children or are part of a children's ministry or school.
