Read and Share: The Jesus Series, Life and Miracles

The Jesus series is a Christian DVD that looks at the Life and Miracles of Jesus. If you are familiar with the Read And Share Bible you will recognize the characters, animals and stories straight from the pages of the book. The animation in this DVD is great, it continues it's soft watercolor theme that we all associate and love with the Read And Share Bible.
I watched it with a 2 and 3 year old and they really enjoyed it. The DVD is 30 minutes which was a perfect amount of time to keep their attention. I also printed of some coloring pages for them to color as they watched the movie. This was a great interactive experience! The kids loved showing off the pictures and trying to explain how Jesus was a part of each one. I found that the stories were told in a very simple easy to understand manner.
The DVD focuses on Jesus' life and teachings from along the shores of Galilee to the villages of Nazareth. We see how Jesus feeds the 5000 with fish and bread, learn about his disciples and about how he healed the sick. They also touch on the Lord's Supper and the importance of that event.
I think this is a great teaching tool for teachers and parents to help kids begin to understand the stories. It is so much fun to see stories come to life! I wished there had been more music throughout the DVD as kids love to sing along and it helps them to remember stories or verses if they can sing along. This DVD is aimed at any child under 5 years of age. I would recommend this DVD to my freinds and family!
