Alex Ayliffe.
Each of the ten stories in this collection is followed by a prayer highlighting its moral. The stories themselves are fairly long, but the bright illustrations should help hold listeners' interest. Many of the stories tie into New Testament parables; parents may welcome the chance to make a connection between Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son and a tale of a lost teddy bear.
