No Toys on Sunday

32 pp. | Morehouse | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8192-1740-9
(3) K-3 Peter is directed to entertain his younger brother every Sunday, but this is no small task because they are not allowed to play on the Sabbath. After praying about the problem, Peter makes a toy ark with which the brothers are permitted to play. The formal relationship between the brothers--and between the father and his sons--is clearly reflective of the Victorian era the pictures portray, but there is genuine warmth here as well.
