I got this book from a friend of my parents as a child. The stories stuck in my head and I loved it. It's a fun to read book. It can get a little preachy but mostly it's just filled with morals and such. The Fishy Bank for Jesus, and the Nothing-Impossible Possum are still in my head today.

Summary: The poem I read out of this book was called patacake. I believe everybody knows this poem. It is a popular one. This poem is about a kid wants a baker to bake a cake as fast as he can. mark it with a letter. Now different versions of this poem uses whatever letter they want to but in this particular book they used the letter G for God and the kid said mark it with a G and put it in the oven for God and me.

Tags and subject headings would be God

My response: This poem I have never heard the version where they used God. I thought that was pretty awesome they used God. You don't see a lot of children's books now days that had the word God in it or even talk about religion.

Uses Mother Goose to portray Gospel truth.

This very short version of the Bible gives the bible story, then gives the song that goes along with it.
