Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join James Stephens as he shares original short stories inspired by his interaction with children. A talking worm, a bullfrog bully, and a friendly duck family are just a few of the many characters that spring to life on these pages. Let your imagination run wild as you ride a bull with DooDad the Clown and fly into outer space with Santa Claus. As each adventure ends, the main character has learned a valuable lesson--about friendship, manners, obedience, and other Christian values. Each of the seventeen short stories includes a timeless black-and-white illustration to intrigue you. And the final story has a twist: a place on each page where you can tap into your own creative side and draw pictures to go with the story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I cannot thank you enough for sharing your stories with my class. Your ability to turn a simple lesson into a fun story that keeps children engaged is powerful. I enjoyed watching my students connect with the characters and explain why they loved them. --Shaunda Douglas Kindergarten Teacher, Allen ISD When I was little, I would go to James and Kathy Stephens' house a lot. He would read his stories to me. They always made me smile. I thought of all sorts of names to name Charlie's horse in "Charlie Goes to the Farm." I was the first small child that he read his stories to. I loved them. --Natalee Hooper, 13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
