Inspired by Bill Martin Jr.’s friendship and writing, Lee Jenkins writes a day by day account of God’s amazing miracle in the life of Jonah. It was such a powerful miracle that Jesus talked about it 700 years later. Jim Chansler certainly displays his humor and talent through these illustrations! 
The Bible Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among Bible stories for children because they are written for beginning readers, ages 4-7. After parents, other adults or older children read the books to young children, they will pick up the patterns and read the books themselves. In a few years children will be ready to read the more complete Bible stories written for children ages 7-10.

Parents and educators have the same desire: to hear students exclaim, "School is challenging, but I love it!" Unfortunately, our current education system does very little to produce these results. Why? Because we do not knowhow to preserve and grow students' intrinsic motivation. That is the focus of How to Create a Perfect School. Lee Jenkins wrote this invaluable guide to share the proven processes he has developed which encourage students towork hard and enjoy learning. These processes include: <ul> <li>organizing student input to maintain their kindergarten level of intrinsic motivation</li> <li>replacing school practices that destroy motivation with ones that accelerate motivation</li> <li>honoring every student for outperforming their own best work</li> <li>adding up every student's contribution for team totals</li> <li>creating students who can clearly explain the learning process to any interested adult.</li> </ul> Do these processes really work? Yes! This method has been tested with more than 7500 students, and the results arein. Teachers using this method see an increase in classroom learning by six times the national average. Do you want this to be your school? Then look no further. How to Create a Perfect School is the book you need to leadyour students into long-lasting, student-driven academic success.

Inspired by Bill Martin Jr.'s friendship and writing, Lee Jenkins wrote the day by day account of Joshua and the historical battle of Jericho. Parents who have read Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom to their children will recognize the influence Bill Martin Jr. had on Lee Jenkins' writing. The aim of the Bible Patterns for Young Readers series is to make learning to read so joyful and painless that children forget how they learned to read, but the stories so powerful they are remembered for life. Through the reading of A Week with Joshua: The Battle of Jericho children learn the days of the week, laugh at the Jim Chansler 7 cartoon priests blowing their trumpets, search for the slight change made to Jericho each day, enjoy the around and around and around climaxed by the walls tumbling down, and begin to understand that God has surprising plans for all of us.

Inspired by Aesop's classic tales and by Bill Martin Jr.'s friendship and books, Lee Jenkins wrote Who's Afraid of a Lion? Aesop's Bully Fable. The amusing word patterns and swirling language that follow the gnat's path are both exemplars of Bill Martin Jr.'s writing. Jim Chansler's delightful illustrations greatly add to children's enjoyment of this story: so much personality is displayed by the lion, gnat and spider. The Aesop Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among fables for children because they are specifically written for beginning readers, ages 4-7. After parents, other adults, or older children read these books to young children, they will pick up the patterns and learn to read the books themselves.

Jim Chansler's talent, Biblical understanding and humor are on full display for children. The Bible Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among Bible stories for children because they are written for children as they begin to read for themselves. After parents, other adults or older children read the books to young children, they will pick up the patterns and read the books themselves.

An Exciting Night with Peter: A Jailbreak (Bible Patterns for Young Readers)

Review\nKnox (age 8): 
"I liked reading to my little sister. It was fun watching her try to read it too!"\nSilas (age 5): 
"I love that the bird is funny! The book makes me feel good [about being able to read]."\nAmelie (age 3): 
"I love it! I like the bird."\nCameron (the dad) and Kelly (the mom): 
"My kids love this crow! We love how it makes our 3-year-old and 5-year-old feel successful at reading. They both wanted to read the book over and over and felt so proud that they were able to read it themselves. It's also fun to watch my 8-year-old read with his younger siblings."\nInspired by Aesop’s classic fables and Bill Martin Jr.’s friendship and book, Lee Jenkins wrote The Thirsty Crow: Aesop’s Little by Little Fable. Until Jim Chansler illustrated this book, few people knew how much humor could be placed in crow drawings! Together, the simple language and creative cartoons create an enjoyable book for many beginning readers. These fortunate children will never forget how much fun learning to read is. 
The Aesop Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among fables for children because they are specifically written for beginning readers, ages 4-7. After parents, other adults and older children read The Thirsty Crow a few times to young children, they will quickly pick up the patterns and learn to read the book for themselves.
