Review of My First Hymnal by Concordia Publishing House

https://www.cph.org/my-first-hymnal?srsltid=AfmBOor44fxfZkJqerfT4bX0oEB4Wx4jZexgaiJCz6_zoNqgeoTWsiyx

It looks like it's $21.99 from CPH's website.  It's also $21.99 on Amazon (at the time of this post).

This book was amazing.  I think this is one of our favorite books ever.  It took about ten months for us to go through all of the hymns in the book.  I was worried that it would be babyish for a 10-11 year-old, but it absolutely was not.  He loved this hymnal.

The hymnal is very colorful with large print (a big thanks from the dyslexics in this house).  It has sections that cover the church calendar, different morning and evening prayers, confession and absolution, The Apostle's Creed, the Lord's Prayer and obviously a big collection of hymns.  The hymns are arranged around the church calendar.  When we began the hymnal, we started in the middle of the hymnal based on what time of year it was when we started.  I think we started at the beginning of Pentecost.  

There is a also a YouTube page with all of the hymns either sung by a choir or played acoustically without a choir.  We always listened to the hymns on YouTube as we went through them.

We loved this hymnal so much that even though we finished the entire thing, I don't want to put it back in the bookcase.  I would like to keep it out in the school room.

Concordia sells another kid's hymnal, so I may take a look at buying that hymnal also.
