For those of you who adore The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd Jones, have you seen the latest collectors edition? It includes a DVD with animated videos of all forty-four stories. This is one of my little guys favorite bibles and audio to listen to. I would love to get him this edition with the video, if its worth it. Anyone have reviews of the DVD? Thanks.

we have the dvds – and my boys and I love them! I believe it is the same guy who does the audio doing them and the pictures are the same illustrations in the book with very minimal animation (I would liken it to the old Scholastic videos of books. It is more like a slideshow with the Ken Burns effect. In the garden the snake’s tongue does go in and out and they thought that was a hoot) that keeps true to the book and doesn’t distract or give a different perspective. If it isn’t a huge deal budget wise, I’d get them – and the collector’s edition on Amazon is cheaper than getting the video downloads on CBD, and you could always gift the book, or have an extra. I think you can watch previews on CBD or even You Tube. If you have more specific ?s let me know!

Thanks for the review mjemom! I can’t seem to find video previews on CBD or youtube. However, I’m sure we would enjoy it.
Have you seen her latest book called “Thoughts to Make your Heart Sing”? It looks lovely. You can see the book and video preview HERE.
For Christmas, its a toss up between these two .
Thanks again!

ooh, I have not, I will check it out! I just googled “Jesus storybook bible videos” and some youtube links came up. Sorry about the cbd reference, for some reason I thought I saw preveiws on there. Did you know about the Rain For Roots cd? These are some folks I know of (you know the six degrees of separation kind of “know”) that have made a children’s cd from some of her poetry. It is great. I got it just because I support anything that comes from these folks (they are part of the Indellible Grace group that has rewritten tunes to old hymns) even though I thought it may be a little young for my boys, but they request it all the time, it is their favorite.

Thanks for sharing this! We may have to buy the book again just to get the dvd for our car- I love to have the kids watch things that I can actually enjoy listening to from the driver seat and the narration for these is fantastic! These would be nice for any littles to view while teaching an older sibling, also.
