Whitney Sews Joseph's Many-Colored Coat: and learns a lesson about jealousy (Emerald Bible Collection)

How can any of us, but especially children, know God? Using the phrase from the Psalm as a jumping-off point -- "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord" -- this color-drenched book answers the question with a celebration of the senses. In poetic language, the author summons up richly evocative scenes that children are experiencing for the first time and that adults will recall with great pleasure -- cotton candy from a carnival, crickets at night, brownies fresh from the oven, the tickle of snowflakes on eyelashes. For each of the five senses, there are several scenes illustrated with lush images that immediately summon up the sensation.

Taste and See the Goodness of the Lord

Whitney turns to Nana's Emerald Bible for help and gets sent back in time to King Solomon's court.

Time-traveling Whitney's latest adventure is triggered, as always, by something in her present. Yielding to pressure, she joins the class in making fun of Pat Chan, or PC as the kids mockingly call the computer whiz who takes diligent notes on his laptop. When a test is called, Whitney finds herself both unprepared and regretful of her actions. Using her grandmother's Emerald Bible, Whitney travels back to ancient Israel just as Noah is finishing up the ark to the jeers and ridicule of his neighbors. When the heavens open, Whitney becomes a stowaway to survive the flood. In the ark she learns about resisting the pressure of others, a lesson she brings with her back to school. Each novel in The Emerald Bible Collection shows middle graders how the Bible is relevant to their lives. The series presents family values and traditions in an engaging way that leads readers to think, What would I do in this situation? The books are an ideal springboard for both entertaining reading and serious intergenerational discussion. Written for all Christian denominations, The Emerald Bible Collection is perfect for home, school, and church use. Young readers of the Cooper Kids adventures will be naturally attracted to the series. It's also the perfect resource for parents, grandparents, home-school parents, directors of religious ed, and teachers of parochial school, Sunday school, CCD, and vacation Bible school. For gift buyers who want to purchase something more meaningful than yet another rock-music CD, the series is a much-welcomed alternative.
