With Heart and Hands and Voices: Songs With Sign Language for Sunday School, Choir, and Worship

Rating:
Summary: Good, but left me wanting more.
Review: As a Sunday School Superintendent, I'm always looking for something new and different for my kids to sing. The songbook, "With Heart and Hands and Voices" does offer 22 bible songs suitable for children, but the majority are already familiar standards. Also, a lot of the songs offer the refrain only and you are left wanting more. The great thing about this book is the sign language. Kids LOVE to learn sign language. I think they get a kick out of doing something mom and dad may not know how to do. The illustrations are done very well and are easy to follow and teach. The book includes very helpful tips on how to enhance the performances of each song, and information about the songs author. I am pleased with the book if only to teach my kids the sign language that goes along with songs they already know. Overall, a good investment for any Sunday School.

Summary: Not a lot of sign language
Review: I was under the mistaken impression that this book would contain sign language interpretation of songs for church. It contains mostly refrains and while that's okay, I really would have preferred being able to choose what I might want to sign out of the whole song rather than being given a small part of the song to sign.
