Superlibro

Every story from the Bible that Superbook tells, has a lesson to be learned and the lesson is applied to real life situations. Superbook keeps all of the kids in my Bible study classes entertained and wanting more. I uses this for kids TK-8th grade.

The start of most Superbook episodes is with Chris, Joy and Gizmo (the robot) and either Chris or Joy has a situation to deal with (making the right choice, helping someone, forgiving someone, etc.). Then Superbook takes them back in time to a part of the Bible that will help them with their situation back home. The kids and Gizmo interact with the people from the Bible and learn so much! The fact that Superbook can cram so much information in such a short time frame is beyond me. During the kids adventure in time, they ask questions and a lot of times Gizmo uses his inner computer to answer the question OR someone from the Bible answers it. After the kids have learned their lesson, Superbook takes them back home at the same time they left and the kids can now make a good decision and take action; for example, sharing their pizza with the less fortunate.

If you buy these DVDs, which I high recommend you do, they each come with a family discussion guide filled with questions, where in the Bible to find the answer, and prayers. I use the discussion guide to help me come up with questions for my middle school aged classes, really get them to think about how what happened in Superbook relates to life.

Overall this is an amazing series and I always look forward to what story they will release next!

Superbook , is one of the best shows to watch with my son. Not only is good for kids but also good for adults as well. It really helps you to understand the Bible better while also showing you how the same lessons can be learned in today's society. Take it from a bible reader , it breaks each story down in the Bible so that we can really learn what the word is.

So, if you have kids, make sure that they watch it. It's a great show with great content and it may can help them through many of the things that they are dealing with in school or may deal with in school or at home. This show really gives a different perspective on life and the decisions that we make.

This show is incredible- I came to it looking for a show that could actually expose people to Bible Stories in an engaging way instead of just reading them off of an emotionless text- Some of the most well known stories in the Bible, such as the Tower of Babel or Jacob's Ladder, are only a handful of verses long and if you zone out for even half a page you could miss those stories entirely.

Superbook delivered that, just- perhaps in a similar way to the Christian God- not quite in the way I expected. With the exception of Season 1, stories are told in a random order as this show is mostly episodic- Each episode contains 2 kids, Chris, Joy, and their robot friend who you're just supposed to accept is there, Gizmo, stumbling themselves into a relatable modern way problem. Just when they prove they don't know how to handle this problem, Superbook shows up to take them back in time to experience a bible story firsthand, that is in some way related to what they are going through. By the end of each episode, Chris and/or Joy learn a lesson (Gizmo is purely there for Comic Relief), and are taken back home to put their newfound wisdom to good use.

While this is definitely a kids show, a lot of the episodes actually deal with problems adults may come across, especially in the later seasons. The best introduction episode for the show I believe is Season 2, Episode 1, Jonah. Many people know about the story of Jonah and how he was in a fish for 3 days, but Not that many people seem to actually know why he was there. The point of the story isn't for him to be in a fish for three days. The story is actually about learning to forgive people even when you think they don't deserve it.

Similarly, it seems a lot of people know about Joseph's "coat of many colors" but don't seem to know anything else about the story, when the coat is basically the most insignificant part of that story- It represents the moment Joseph's brothers are pushed over the edge, but everything that happens after the coat is wrecked is what the story is really about and it gets pretty brutal.

My favorite episode though is from Season 5, when Joy is questioning if it's even right for her to hang around her non Christian friends, only for Superbook to show her that even Jesus hung around "sinners" to build relationships with them.

There are also plenty of episodes that shake up the status quo a bit which is good fun.

And while Gizmo can be annoying as the comic relief character, Chris and Joy rarely laugh at his quirks which can give you the feeling that it's okay if you don't find him funny- Maybe that doesn't make much sense but I feel it works.

If you're willing to embrace your child self and learn some valuable life lessons that are applicable to both children and adults, give this a watch!

It's actually a really decent show. I watched it in school as an elementary-schooler and later used it to teach my brother the Bible stories. Superbook approaches them in an interesting and fairly accurate way. I would probably recommend it to kids ages 7+ as there are some scary scenes/blood (but it is the Bible, after all). The stories are explained in a much more complicated way and can be difficult for younger kids to understand. The animation definitely improves as the series progresses, and there's an applicable lesson taught in every episode. Be sure to explain to your kid that the kids and the robot are filler and aren't part of the real Bible story (this is pretty obvious, though). Overall I think it's a great show and is very helpful in teaching Bible stories.

Bro- this show is really good! My husband has been on a Christian kick lately and was asking if there are any children Christian shows. I remember Veggie Tales was- but it's not available in our streaming. So we found Super Book! We love it! The stories are so good- it's even kinda scary at times ,, but I really like that they didn't make it super corny ... my husband and I are learning a lot too. It's been decades since I went to Bible camp/ but this is fun for the family and we are seriously learning a lot of stories we didn't even know about. This and Bluey are our favorite kids shows for sure. We watch it with our son before bed and it is a positive way to end the day for sure .
