This book gives the reader a simple, but rigorous, introduction to the universe of insects and other little animals.
Taking a few minutes to observe with the naked eye any of them, insects, spiders or worms, we begin to understand that they are beings wonderfully complex, authentic mini "stars". The wonderful teachings and virtues of nature's beings are explained such as: The extraordinary maternal (and paternal) cares of many insects. The "intelligent" behaviour of the bee and many other bugs, in spite of their reduced dimensions. The incredible miracle of metamorphosis ….and much more.
Enjoy an extraordinary adventure that will penetrate the mysteries of creation and its designer.
A practical tool to learn and get acquainted with nature.
In this book of our collection we show you the sheer magnitude of the journeys endured by some animals that inhabit our planet. In them we are able to witness amazing displays of nature.
Large and seemingly powerful animals and small and perhaps fragile ones alike, must make use of their abilities and skills to their limit and have unshakable faith in order to make it to their "promised land".
This book offers one of the most extraordinary events that occurs every so often in nature: migration in the animal kingdom.
The author, Celedonio García-Pozuelo, whose curiosity leads him to study everything that moves and lives, takes us magically by the hand into each of the mysteries of the phenomenon of migration, and shows us the scope of the journeys undertaken by some animals on our planet.
The author goes in depth about these phenomena with extensive knowledge and skill, using precise yet educational language, presenting information in paragraphs that stand out, so that their reading is very appealing and can be discussed among parents and their children.

A useful tool to understand nature.

Helping Children Develop a Christlike Character
Galatians 5:22, 23 has been memorized by children down through the ages and around the world. But what’s the big deal about the fruit of the Spirit? Isn’t it just another memory verse?
Join Karter and his friends, Mishanda, and twins Cameron and Kaitlynn, as they pick blueberries, go swimming, play basketball, and spend the summer learning about the fruit of the Spirit—and why it matters that we know about them.
And even though, as Mishanda says, things such as patience, goodness, and faithfulness “don’t sound like anything you could bake into a pie,” you can learn how the Holy Spirit wants to place love, joy, and peace in our lives so we can grow to be just like Jesus.
Teaching Tips are included to help explain the importance of developing a Christlike Character.

“Dear Jesus,” Paul prayed, “we are excited about getting into Your Book again. Please lead us as we follow the Lamb!” As another story unfolds before Paul, James, and Hannah, she whispers, “Who are they?” “That must be Abraham and Isaac,” James said. The three children watched the father and son build the altar. Once the stones were in place, they placed sticks on the altar, as Isaac said, “Father, we have the stones, we have the sticks, and we even have the fire. But we have no sacrifice!” A look of pain crossed the face of the old man. He reached out and placed a hand on his son’s cheek. “God will provide a lamb,” he said in little more than a whisper. Isaac’s shoulders slumped. He turned and looked at the altar with a sense of dread. “What’s wrong?” Hannah asked. “He is the sacrifice,” James said in an almost trancelike voice. “Isaac is the sacrifice." In The lamb Scroll, Paul, James, and Hannah discover the Lamb through the stories in the Bible. Challenged to dig deeply into the Word, they learn to forgive, find the answers to some difficult questions, and realize that even children are called to be disciples.
The last book in the Adventures in the Bible trilogy. "God's Kingdom is like a treasure," Hannah said. "It's more valuable than anything!" In The Kingdom Scroll, Paul, James and Hannah observe many of the stories in the Bible that deal with kings and kingdoms. At first they are puzzled about how to fit all the pieces together. The stories seem so disjointed - until they finally realize that to live int he Kingdom of God we must treat people the way God would treat them. To live with God's heart inside of you and to take God's Kingdom to the world. The Kingdom Scroll is the last book in the Adventures in the Bible trilogy. Readers will be inspired to discover for themselves that if we love others. God's Kingdom is not far from any one of us.
