Don’t Blame the Mud: Only Jesus Makes Us Clean – Marty Machowski

Our family became fans of Marty Machowski after reading his earlier work – Ology.    Don’t Blame the Mud is another winner!  This impactful book shares the gospel message is a memorable way.  Of special note are the pictures within the book.  They really bring the text to life.

Previously – Allan Ahlberg

Previously is a clever tale that weaves a number of fairy tales together by approaching each one by looking at what occurred previously to the part of the story commonly known by the reader.  Although this initially appears to be a simple picture book, it would be a tremendous tool to use with older students to start a discussion about a character’s choices in a piece of literature as well as exploring historical context of events.  This one is a winner!
