I was fooling around and stumbled on this story!
So far each chapter has emerged from simple ideas, and the “filling in” are the rough draft of them.
It’s not theology or “Christian” no bible verses! It’s fun! But it’s also a book parents will be happy to see their kids reading cuz the “moral of the story” is there also.
Dumb stuff the kids have done, it all turned out well in the end but what’s to be learned is right there for parents to discuss with their kids.
