Three scientific kitties travel to different parts of the world to solve mysteries. Along the way, they meet different characters and begin to solve problems, create formulas, and invent all sorts of things. The three scientific kitties, in their desperation for truth, will learn that there is a God in heaven who created the entire universe; the stars, the moon, the sun, and the earth. They will also find that the Bible was written by God himself, who dictated to man what to write. The kitties will realize that the Bible far surpasses any science book written by man himself and that it is the first legal authority to use while making decisions. This book may excite children and open a sense of adventure. They will want to solve the mysteries before the story ends. The Three Scientific Kitties is a great keepsake for that library in your home or school. It can be used as a teaching tool during story time.
