Reviewed by Ian Hayter

These albums of children's songs from over the pond are so formulaic - warbling pre-teens, unimaginative arrangements, slightly archaic lyrics, etc etc. So much so that it was tempting just to copy and paste a review of another album here. However, I will resist that temptation and tell you that, as always, the production is pretty good and no doubt the steady drip, drip of Bible verses into developing infant minds will pay dividends in the future, but I suspect that the versions of the Bible chosen here (NIV, NKJV - mostly from the Psalms, with The Magnificat and a couple of New Testament passages thrown in) will not necessarily be understood by the target audience. The 12 tracks are repeated in split-trax format so that you can sing along, or (for the more enterprising) write your own lyrics and accompany them with the arrangements of Mark Gasbarro, Don Moen and others.
