Storybook

Seven stories, one from every world. In each one, your child is the young builder with the satchel and the toolbox, lending a hand in a village on the Nile, a Roman town, a castle town, a new town by a river, a forest village, a colony on Mars and the holy city the Bible describes.

How it works

  1. Download. You get the PDF right after paying, in US Letter and A4 sizes.
  2. Print a story, or the whole book. Each story starts on a new page, so you can print one at a time and staple it.
  3. Read together. One chapter makes a good bedtime story. After each one, a short note tells what was true in real life.

Questions

Are these the stories on this site?

Yes. The stories are free to read here. The Storybook puts all seven in one book to print, with every painting on its own page, a contents page and a page for your own story.

What age is it for?

Ages 4 to 9 for reading aloud. Confident readers can read it by themselves.

Do I need a color printer?

It looks best in color, since every page is a painting. Print the stories one at a time if you like.

Can I print more copies?

Yes, for your own home or classroom. Please don't share the file online.
