The Play-Along Bible: Imagining God's Story through Motion and Play
Looking for a way to integrate the Bible into your child's playtime?
The Play-Along Bible inspires children's imaginations while growing their understanding of and love for God's Word. Through simple hand motions, facial expressions, verbal exclamations, and funny noises, kids can participate and respond to God's amazing story. Whether it's acting out the dawn of creation by making a funny fish face or belting out a giant roar while pretending to be a ferocious beast in Daniel's lions' den, kids will encounter hundreds of fun ways to actively engage with the Bible. Using this fresh and easy, multisensory approach, you'll be surprised how well your child will recall and absorb the Scriptures. Adding to the experience are delightful full-color illustrations from British artist Susie Poole.

Mr Aesop's Story Shop

Mr Aesop's Story Shop
Ten of Aesop's fables are given witty, fresh retellings by a modern storyteller
 
"My name is Aesop! Once I was a slave. Now I am a free man. I have refreshments to sell and stories to tell. Stop for a moment-and enjoy!"
   
Bob Hartman uses all his skills as a storyteller to add humor, irony, action, and clever dialogue to these retellings of 10 of Aesop's fables, which he has woven into an entertaining tale about a man who tells stories for a living. A rich mix of familiar and less well-known tales have been selected for their relevance to the life of children today. Streetwise tricksters get their comeuppance, virtue is rewarded, and readers are shown the benefits of good behavior-but these quirky stories are far from being typical morality tales. Animated, witty illustrations echo the fun flavor of the text.

The Wolf Who Cried Boy

The Wolf Who Cried Boy
Everyone knows about the boy who cried wolf, but have you heard about the wolf who cried boy? Little Wolf is tired of the same old Lamburgers and Chocolate Moose. What he would really like to eat is Boy! After sending his parents out on a number of wild goose (boy!) chases, Little Wolf gets his come- uppance. When a real boy scout wanders by, his parents just ignore their son's pleas to catch the boy for supper. This entertaining tale is very loosely based on the familiar fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, but with a topsy turvy slant that all Bob Hartman fans will expect and enjoy.
