Summary: This book is a mix of three different Spiritual songs that children learn at young ages. The three songs include, "This Little Light of Mine", "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands." The beautiful illustrations and colors on the pages of the book really give the songs character, and they show the world from different perspectives. The last few pages of the book are the songs with the sheet music, with more plentiful illustrations. This could be used in the classroom as it provides religious insight, and would be a great addition to a personal classroom library. Students will be attracted to the pretty colors and be able to relate to these words that many had possibly learned at a young age.
