Psalm 100:1
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Karma Wilson (author of the bestselling children’s book Bear Snores On) has written a beautiful new book based on Psalm 100. It is one in a series of Scripture based books. In Karma’s own words she writes:
The celebrating scripture series is a way for families to celebrate meaningful scripture with their children. Repeating lines, rhyme and rhythm help children to commit the verse (and the spirit of the verse) to their hearts and their minds in a fun, not preachy, way. It is my hope that families everywhere find these books helpful in teaching and enjoying scripture with children. (Excerpted from Author’s website)

Abbie was singing & making up songs before she could form sentences! Some of our favorite books have been ones that you sing instead of read. Phil’s mom has made several for the kids with Bible story songs. And we can always count on their Aunt Ellen (who has a PhD in Music) to give music books & instruments for Christmas gifts.
My girls and I love to dance and sing to music. It is really sweet when they try to sing along to some of my worship CDs!
Greetings! I just love children’s books. This one sounds so inspirational and joyful! We would read this as a bedtime book. The illustrations are quite beautiful. A lovely book with a wonderful message. Please enter me in your drawing.
Many thanks…..Cindi
I don’t have any kids yet but my little cousins and nieces love to sing and dance! And so do I…thanks for the chance to win this beautiful book!
Sounds like a wonderful book!
It DOES sound wonderful. My 4 yr old boy loves making everything musical. He even has these “football team songs” where he sings the names of pro football teams. I love it. And my 2-yr old is just finding her “voice”. She is really into the hokey pokey right now from this Veggie Tales cd we have. We’ll be anywhere, and she just busts it out. It takes me back to my “skating” days in the 80′s when we skated to that song. Thanks for the giveaway!
Our little 18-month-daughter likes to raise her hands in the air and sing, “Hosanna.” The Palm Sunday lesson really stuck! Thanks for the giveaway! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
count me in, my son would love it
my son would love his. my son has very few words in vocab, and every sound that he makes is a joyful noise to me.
DD is always singing even when I want her to stop.
my kids love to sing! this sounds like a great book
My nieces definitely love to make joyful noises. They sing, they play instruments, stomp their feet, and clap their hands.
They both adore books and would love to read this story.
i think my litter one may like this book thanks
My daughter LOVES to make noise! She uses anything she can as an instrument!
My 9 month old son makes lots of noises in his crib throughout the night!
My daughter loves to giggle, laugh, squeal, shriek all the time! If we shriek back at her, she echoes us and we will go back and forth several times.
The most joyful noise my children make is when I hear “I love you mommy!” Thanks for this chance to reinforce important lessons!
All my kids love to sing and dance. Especially when their daddy plays guitar for them.
I LOVE Karma Wilson and the bear books! My son is a huge fan! My favorite joyful noises come from my four year old and his 8 month old sisters when he’s dancing and singing to make them laugh. He’ll do anything to get them to smile!
My 7 month old “sings” whenever music is on! Okay, so its not words, but he mimics the sounds with his cute little voice!

my sons love singing action songs from sunday school.
Great giveaway, thanks!
My daugher loves to sing and dance and shake maracas! Thanks for the chance to win!
I sing ALOT and I often hear my 2 1/2 year old daughter humming along. She also hums herself to sleep, which is so adorable. When I play my keyboard she has to run and get hers and play right along with me.
My little boy likes to listen to David Crowder!
As a grandma the most beautiful Joyful noise I hear is when my grandsons are dancing around entertaining their baby sister, 1 years old, and she is laughing at their antics. They are so proud they can make her giggle.
My daughter just turned one and loves to ‘sing’ in church. Whenever the congregation sings she babbles right along with us, it’s so cute, she’s been doing it for months.
My twins’ favorite thing to do in the car is sing the ABC’s–over and over–at the top of their lungs.
All 4 of my preschool grandchildren love to sing and dance and learn Biblical songs. This would be perfect for all of them!
count me in!
mine sing or giggle all of the time
I like to make a joyful noise by singing but often my granddaughter says, “That’s bad singing, Gramma!”
all day long it seems as if we are making a joyful noise, at any given time, our house sounds like a musical. We are constantly singing to each other. This book would be really fitting for us!
I’d love this! My son makes a joyful noise by banging on pots and pans!
This book looks great. I love the illustrations!
my granddaughters love to sing.
I think kids sometimes get the message through a story much more so than through our words. This is wonderful!
This sounds wonderful!! Please enter me into this contest, thanks!
We often sing as we work around the house and enjoy changing the words to songs to fit what we are doing. This looks like such a great book. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.
My son sings…and also he says iloveyou all the time…it makes this momma so happy.
