Once again the combination of Inkpen and Butterworth has come up trumps! This is a highly imaginative and refreshing approach to 4 stories involving Jesus from the Gospels. Each story is retold by an imaginary eye-witness animal in such a way as to captivate and enthrall young children (our son can't get enough of it!). The tales are thus told by a fox (the nativity), a mouse (the calming of the storm), a magpie (Zacchaeus), and a cat (the wedding at Cana). Similar in style to 'Stories Jesus told', Animal Tales is aimed at a slightly older age group, the stories being longer and more in-depth. The tales are also well-written and so a joy to read out-loud (I should know!!) All in all, we highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
