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)
