AUTHOR: Troy Schmidt
ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION
Famous Bible tales told from the point of view of the animals
who were there and finally get to tell us what they saw!
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?
This light-hearted series puts a fresh spin on our favorite Bible
stories, told with humor and attitude. The animals learn similar
lessons as their human counterparts, but in their own fun 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 or how did the frog
deal with a setback when her vacation to Egypt was ruined? 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 (The True Story of the Three Little Pigs)
