Title: Trite rhyming and poor word choice
Product review: I was excited to purchase a phonics Bible for my 4- and 5-year-old sons, and they absolutely love the book.BUT, I have been disappointed by: 1) the constant change back and forth from rhyme to non-rhyming narration; 2) the use of poor word choice in order to rhyme ("jerk" has been used twice so far, and we have gotten about 1/4 through the Bible); 3) the trite, stretched quality of the rhymed sections. A handful of the stories have been great, but I think that perhaps this book would have been better off as a phonics Bible--sans the attempt at rhyming.We also purchased the Phonics book of prayers, and found the same problem with words like "jerk" and "stupid." Things I don't really care to have my newly reading children learn how to articulate, let alone spell and read. We purchased another early readers Bible that we have had much better luck with.
