Explanation
The books in this take-home bag run the gamut from a board book (Shiny Touchy) to a philosophical book about evolution (Yellow and Pink). The book of poetry illustrated by Eric Carle celebrates the majesty of God’s creation. The Norman Messenger book provides the backbone for this story bag, as it takes its text directly from the New Living Bible translation, with no additions.
One of my favorite bags, because the books complement each other perfectly by being so different stylistically.
