1: Rhyme time for the Bible - early readers
"Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" was written by the writing team of Bill Martin J. and Michael Sampson, who co-authored the popular children's book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" This book uses the same rhythmic verse as the original. The difference between the two books is
"Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" has a Biblical theme, the original does not.
The books starts out like this: "Adam, Adam, what do you see? I see creation all around me?" The text continues in this manner using different people from the Bible, like Noah, Moses, Ruth, Peter and Paul (among others). Each rhyme is referenced with corresponding text from the Bible. For instance, the first one cites Genesis 2:4-25.
The illustrations by Cathie Felstead are bright, colorful and kid-friendly. They cover full-page spreads throughout the book.
What I Like: Everything! I like the idea of a book about the Bible that is also a book for early readers. What a great way to encourage young readers to read about the Bible. I also like the Bible references given at the end of each verse.
Overall Rating: Excellent.
Age Appeal: None is given, so I'll just list it as being appropriate for early readers of any age.

2: Its Great
I have always loved Brown Bear but this takes it to a whole new level adding the God touch just makes it wonderful to own, share at Sunday School, etc. Its catchy just like Brown Bear and you find yourself repeating it over and over.

3: Wonderful Introduction to Bible Characters!
I love this book- especially the hardback edition! My son reads it every night as his "night-night" book and he has it memorized! I also gave it to my best friend as a gift for her daughter and it is the book they read together every night. My son can tell you many answers to Bible questions because this book help to introduce some key characters, and gave us an opportunity to elaborate on the stories and also sing the songs that he knows about some of these characters! (I must admit- David is his favorite!) This hardback one is out of print- so if you ever find it- get it quick! It is a treasure!

4: Fun Introduction to the Bible
"Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin is a beginning reader book of Bible stories.
Each two-page spread starts with the title question, only the name is replace with another name. Adam's response is "I see creation all around me." Genesis 2:4-25 is listed as the reference to learn more about Adam.
Other major Bible characters are asked the same question, and they answer uniquely: Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Samson, Ruth, David, Esther, Mary, John, Peter, Paul, a little child, and of course, Jesus, all with corresponding Bible references.
I fully recommend "Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin as a fun way to introduce your children to your faith.

5: Outstanding for Sunday School....
As a preschool teacher, of course I'm a huge fan, but this book warmed my soul. I'm so thankful to have this religious book to share with the kids. They will learn the words just like my weekday kids recite Brown Bear... this will make the flannelboard story for Sunday School I have been waiting for! Excellent story by a dedicated Christian! Every young child's class should have this book.
