Funny retelling of five Bible stories (Prodigal Son, Peter in Jail, Rich Young Ruler, Paul/Eutychus, and Saul's Conversion), best read aloud. CAUTION: NOT good for wee ones who don't know the Bible stories yet. I would recommend it for probably fourth grades and up. There are many humorous references that will tickle adults more than kids (just like in the cartoons from the 40's and 50's).
Some may feel the stories are somewhat irreverent, taking the Bible lightly, but personally, I think Mike Thaler's version is respectful of the truths the stories are designed to teach. Incidentally, my best audience for the stories has actually been adults!
