Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Make a Joyful Noise!
Kathryn Nider Wolf · 2007
71/100
👍 Worth It
For children's ministry teachers looking for a plug-and-play resource that combines 22 Bible stories with songs, movement, and crafts, this is genuinely practical — the companion CD alone saves a lot of prep time. It will not find an audience outside Christian education settings, and the lack of professional reviews means we are trusting the format more than documented results. But the multi-sensory approach is sound for the age group, and the Old-to-New Testament sweep is well-designed.
