Here in the 21st century, children's workers are offered numerous resources for teaching children about Jesus and the Bible as a whole, many available from your Christian retailer, offering a major step forward in both quality and relevance to today's toddlers. This three CD set offering a collection of 60 - yes 60 - tracks of worship songs containing evergreens you may have grown up with in Sunday School such as "Father Abraham", "Children, Go Where I Send Thee" and "His Banner Over Me Is Love" along with a few new-to-my-ears ditties such as "Oh How I Love Jesus" sung tunefully by young voices. Lyrics are also offered on the Wonder Kids website. The problem here is it simply brings nothing new to the hard working teacher looking to keep children involved, even the concept of Split Tracks (voices in one stereo channel, music in the other) has been offered many times before, and with the increasing use of Laptops and MP3 players, just playing the right channel for music may present a problem. In addition, many of the renditions of the songs here are very short, so all the material could have been easily placed on two discs. In short, the collection is disappointing and there are better resources available.
