The Friendly Beasts Sing a Story Handled Board Book with CD

by Kim Mitzo Thompson (Adapter)

Each beast in the stable honors Jesus in its own special way. In this tender book and CD set, based on the classic song, the wonderful original recording follows the story word-for-word so young readers can sing along with each page on their own. Children will learn pre-reading and word recognition skills, as well as the gift of giving of themselves. Plus, the additional 17 songs on the CD provide more songs of faith and good things – and more sing along fun! The Sing a Story Handled Board Book and CD series encourages learning through music and promotes core preschool concepts, such as letter recognition, counting, and more! The built-in handle and CD storage compartment make the Sing a Story series ideal for on the go fun! Check out the other titles in this series!

Reviews

[Peacegal · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars --I'm not religious, but I appreciated the peaceful feel of this little book as well as the wonderful illustrations of the animals. Farm animals such as the ones in this book are the most overlooked and underappreciated animals, and materials such as this remind readers that they play an important role in the Christian tradition and help bring them into the fold of awareness and concern.

3 1/2 stars. This is an illustrated version of the carol, calming and lovely.

A Christmas themed board book with a handle! and a cd. The animals in the manger tell of the gifts they gave the Christ child when he was born. The cd contains a song called, "The Friendly Beasts" as well as 11 other songs.
