Outstanding! So Glad I Found This Book!

I looked high and low for this book and was so excited when I finally found it for a reasonable price on eBay. Others were selling it for $50+! This book is outstanding! It follows the same pattern as Martin's other books such as the popular Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?: 40th Anniversary Edition (Brown Bear and Friends). However, the refrain in this book begins by asking "Adam, Adam, what do you see?" Adam responds "I see creation all around me." It also provides the corresponding Biblical passage (Genesis 2:4-25) Other Biblical characters in the book are: Noah: "I see animals in the ark with me." Abraham: "I see a starry sky blinking at me." Joseph: "I see father with a coat for me." Moses: "I see the Red Sea parting for me." Samson: "I see the strength God gave me." Ruth: "I see a new land waiting for me." David: "I see Goliath glaring at me." Esther: "I see the king listening to me." Mary: "I see Baby Jesus looking at me." John: "I see God's Son baptized by me." Peter: "I see miracles all around me." Paul: "I see an earthquake setting me free." The book ends by asking "Little Child, Little Child, What do you see?" The child responds "I see Jesus wathcing over me." Lastly, the question "Jesus, Jesus, What do you see?" reviews all the Biblical figures and children "...all seeking me." It is simply beautiful! Highly recommended!

Its Great

I have always loved Brown Bear but this takes it to a whole new level adding the God touch just makes it wonderful to own, share at Sunday School, etc. Its catchy just like Brown Bear and you find yourself repeating it over and over.

Wonderful Introduction to Bible Characters!

I love this book- especially the hardback edition! My son reads it every night as his "night-night" book and he has it memorized! I also gave it to my best friend as a gift for her daughter and it is the book they read together every night. My son can tell you many answers to Bible questions because this book help to introduce some key characters, and gave us an opportunity to elaborate on the stories and also sing the songs that he knows about some of these characters! (I must admit- David is his favorite!) This hardback one is out of print- so if you ever find it- get it quick! It is a treasure! ****Sherry Everett******

Fun Introduction to the Bible

"Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin is a beginning reader book of Bible stories. Each two-page spread starts with the title question, only the name is replace with another name. Adam's response is "I see creation all around me." Genesis 2:4-25 is listed as the reference to learn more about Adam. Other major Bible characters are asked the same question, and they answer uniquely: Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Samson, Ruth, David, Esther, Mary, John, Peter, Paul, a little child, and of course, Jesus, all with corresponding Bible references. I fully recommend "Adam, Adam, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin as a fun way to introduce your children to your faith. Anthony Trendl editor, HungarianBookstore.com

A positive children's book for kids and parents too!

What a beautiful and simple way to tell the Bible stories! I loved this book! If you liked "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see" by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle you will love this one even more. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see" has been my son's favorite book since he was 6months old, now "Adam, Adam, what do you see" will be my second son's favorite. Bill Martin Jr. has a wonderful way to tell the many stories of the Bible in simple sentences for young readers. I recommend this book to any parent, the children will love the repetition in this book and will learn it word by word.
