Recently I signed up to review various items for The Catholic Company - http://www.catholiccompany.com. Following is my review of Paul in a Basket, a Children's Musical by Rob Evans, the Donut Man.
Paul in a Basket is an hour long musical celebrating the life of St. Paul. The first half of the CD contains all the narrated parts alternated with the songs. The second half has the songs alone. It can be performed as a musical by all ages and the narrated parts are simple enough that even young children can understand them.
In a family &/or homeschool setting, Paul in a Basket can be used to educate children about St. Paul's life in a fun, musical way. Most of the songs are catchy & upbeat. My munchkins loved them! After hearing the CD only twice, they were going around the house singing some of the songs. In addition to listening to the narration & songs, we've just played the music throughout the day while the munchkins play &/or do independent school work. I also think it would be great for longer car trips.
So, whether you're a parent, teacher, or youth leader in your parish, Paul in a Basket would be a great addition to your library. It comes in two versions - one is the student's CD for $10 & the other is the director's CD for $20 (which provides all the information you need to put on a performance).
