Simple and sincere, this retelling of the Christmas story is perfect for children under five, introducing them to a classic story and its message of love. This audiobook tells little children about all the events of the nativity: the angels' visits to Mary and Joseph, the journey to Bethlehem, the shepherds and the angels, the wise men's travels and encounter with Herod, and Mary and Joseph's care for the baby that would grow up to show the world God's love.

A wonderful addition to the Storyteller range, told by the expert storyteller, Bob Hartman. Twenty-seven of Jesus' parables are given a fresh twist in his lively and dynamic style, managing to effortlessly engage young readers and make clear the depths of meaning within the story. Illustrations by Krista Kallai Nagy add to the warm-hearted appeal of the parables. This book is suitable for teachers seeking material to read out loud in class and assemblies, and for parents wanting stories children can enjoy having read to them, or for those who are starting to read by themselves.

Taking her inspiration from the medieval tradition of carving Jesse Trees - a method used to explain the genealogy of Jesus - McCaughrean uses all her skill as a storyteller to weave together evocative retellings of Bible stories with a contemporary tale about the creation of a modern-day Jesse Tree and the transforming power of friendship and love.

This is the much loved story of a faithful prophet, a wicked plot against him, and how God keeps him safe in a den of lions. This audiobook includes special words from the story, and a related prayer. There are eight titles in the My Very First Bible Stories book set. This title publishes simultaneously with Jesus and his Friends, Jonah and the Whale, and The Good Samaritan, which join the already published Noah and the Ark, Baby Jesus, Our Father, and The Lost Sheep.

Long ago in the busy little town of Assisi, a wealthy merchant and his wife had a baby boy: Francis. They gave their son all the good things that money could buy. But when Francis was a young man, he had a dream telling him to work for God - to follow the example of Jesus in loving those who were unloved and giving everything he had to serve others. Francis' life touched the hearts of many in his own lifetime. Even the wild birds and animals seemed to listen to what he had to say about God their Maker. For hundreds of years, the story of this good man of Assisi has brought hope and encouragement to all those who long to know gentleness and love in the world.
