Published 7 March 2008
Continuing the "Crazy Stories" series, Belcher Bridget retells the parable of the lost coin ("Luke 15:8-10") in rhyme, with Alexander Brown's fun, crazy illustrations. Bridget is a champion belcher, and she carries with her everywhere she goes a piece of toast that started her on the road to burping stardom. One day she loses the toast and does everything in her power to get it back.

Brilliant Bones

Published 27 April 2007
"Brilliant Bones" is about the rather unusual bone-collecting hobby of Harriet Carbuncle Petrifee Jones. One day, the biggest bones in the world come up for sale, and she realises she must sell everything she owns to make her dream come true. As children enjoy the imaginative and fun rhymes and illustrations, they will learn that Jesus is the greatest treasure.

Anthony Greenfinger, the farmer, wants to grow apples, so with the help of one of his cows he logs onto 'Google-seed-tastic' to order some seeds. However, he is duped into buying junk, thinking it is apple seed. Instead of apples he gets trees that produce crisp packets, horse wigs, kebabs and other amazing items! Although somewhat despondent, he has one more attempt and this time plants the right seed to produce a wonderful crop of apples! Using rhyme, humour and wit, "Anthony Greenfinger's Apple Disaster" helps 5-7's explore "Matthew" 7:15-20 in an imaginative and fun way and encourages them to think about how they can grow 'good' fruit in their lives. Computer-generated illustrations add to the zaniness of this title.
