I love hearing that someone wants their kids to know God - hooray! We attend an Anglican church, and because we were brought up on it, my siblings and I prefer their traditional service (old style language etc) However, they do a 'family' service too, with modern language and more emphasis on children in conjunction with the Sunday School.
I think that sounds more like what you're after so I would suggest enquiring at various churches in your area for those that are youth/family oriented. Then it's probably just a matter of trying out a few to see what feels best to you. I wouldn't worry too much about the actual denomination.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
I think you would probably like a more modern church - pentecostal often scares alot of people, but happy singing, etc is what we do best! My church has a large number of children and do children's church - children stay in for worship - singing and communion then go out to their own activities - usually a simple bible story, drawing, art activity, etc. Usually something yummo to munch on, a few games etc.
Many churches will allow you to send your children along even if you aren't keen yourself.
Try out a church of christ too as they aren't as loopy as us pentes!!
I would have thought maybe pentecostal. It's upbeat, singing etc, but still gets the message across. Anglican services are very traditional, so you may get bored (if that's the right word, no offence to anyone) with it. DH and I are Anglican, I prefer the traditional Anglican services whereas dh prefers pentecostal. Our girls like the environment that comes with pentecostal, so we attend those services moreso these days.
ETA: forgot to say, keep reading the books you've got. We have a couple of books which we read to the girls. Every night, we go through a story from the book titled 'My Good Night Bible' with Nina. She's very interested in learning about God.
