Terrel is always in charge, whether she''s making lists for grocery shopping (her favorite hobby, AFTER ballet), keeping her brothers in line, or organizing father-daughter time in with her dad. Lately, though, her dad''s been acting a little strange--wearing new clothes and way too much aftershave. Things get even weirder when he surprises Terrel with his new girlfriend during a night out at the ballet - a night that was supposed to be father-daughter time. What''s more, his "date" brought her niece along. A niece who turns out to be Terrel''s ballerina nemesis, Tiara Girl! With some Sugar Plum help, Terrel takes charge of breaking up her father''s new relationship.

Brenda Black tells her spoiled cousin Tiffany that she owns a pair of ballerina Camilla Freeman''s tap shoes, but then Tiffany demands to see the shoes, which actually belong to the headmistress of Brenda''s ballet school.

On the fourth day, God made the sun. . . . And the rest is history! Jump at the Sun is pleased to present two stories of Biblical proportions in its new Bible Classics series. God Made the World allows young readers to experience His love for His ultimate creation, the children! And Noah Builds an Ark, always a favorite with kids, is told in pleasing rhyme, as animals come to the ark, "just as God told them to. They came by the hundreds, two by two. Two by two."
