This book is SOOO good. It was written for smaller children, but the lessons are incredible even for older children, teens, and adults. The Nonconformist Splat, for example, is about someone who is so "immune" to peer pressure that they do everything the opposite way everybody else does: they jump off a cliff when everybody else decides not to.

Apples, Snakes and Bellyaches is a book of Dr. Suess type poetry for kids and adults, too. Fun to read and they convey a message about all kinds of topics, from why you should wash your hands to the story of Daniel in the lion's den. My personal favorite is the "60 Second Old Testament".

I was very blessed to meet Dr. Calvin Miller at my school in March of 2004. He is an amazing person and a amazing writer as well. This book is so wonderful! I am in charge of a weekly devotion at my college and I always read stories out of this book. It seems like it is for little kids, but every time I read a story I learn something new, or just remember Gods love for us. This book really touched me, as well as for many others. I recommend this book to anyone of all ages!!

I absolutely LOVED this book... ...I've been reading it since I was little! I can NOT get over the stories! I lost the book years ago and am thrilled to be getting it again... it is definitely my favorite and the poems are so easy to get into! I think all kids will love it... it's a great book. Check it out!
