ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION
Bible stories told from the point of view
of animals that were there and finally get to tell their side
of the story!
OVERVIEW
Oh sure, we've heard the stories of Jonah
and Moses and Noah a hundred times, but have we heard them from
the perspective of others who witnessed these history making events?
Like say, from the animal's point-of-view
This light-hearted
series puts a fresh spin on our favorite Bible stories, told with
humor and attitude. The animals learn the same lessons as their
human counterparts, but in their own unique way.
UNIQUENESS
This series focuses on humor while keeping
the truth very much intact. We don't make fun of the Bible characters,
but we have fun with the animal characters who witnessed the events
firsthand. These stories ask the questions like how did the whale
deal with nausea for three days or how did the raven react when
Noah chose the dove over him to find land? Deep probing questions
that keep you up at night, I'm sure!
AUDIENCE
The audience for this Children Book series
is 4-8 year olds. An emphasis on the style and humor of the writing
will engage the parents, who will appreciate the humor and contemporary
references, much like Jon Scieszka did with his retelling of classic
fairy tales.
