A collection of twenty-one great stories retold at a cracking pace - perfect for story-times. There are stories from the Old and New Testaments and it includes some best-loved parables. Each story is retold in a short but continuous narrative, with cute and lively illustrations. The playful element is enhanced by text that 'interacts' with the pictures by means of join-in onomatopoeic labels and speech bubbles so that they are fun to share with children.
