Book Cover & Preview Text
Tony and Luke went first. Tony pulled out a slip of paper. “It’s cat!” he cried. “Mrs. B, I can’t be a cat.”
“Why not?” asked Mrs. B.
“I’m not some cuddly little kitten” he replied.
“I see” said Mrs. B. “You know boys there are all types and sizes of cats. Some are big and majestic, mighty hunters in fact. What about lions and tigers?”
“Tigers, I can roar real good!” said Tony as he let out a big tiger roar.
“That’s very good, Tony. What about you, Luke?” asked Mrs. B.
Luke gave out a big tiger roar, too.
“I haven’t heard roars like that since I was at the zoo” said Mrs. B.
"Infact, I think the old tiger there would be jealous. So our ark will have two tigers.”
Tony and Luke gave each other high fives.

About the Book
Katy enjoyed getting to know Mrs. Bumbleberry in Mrs. Bumbleberry’s Garden. But now it’s time to make some new friends.
She gets that chance at church summer camp, but she’s worried about going.
“Oh Katy, don’t worry,” Mrs. Bumbleberry tells her. “It’s normal to be nervous when you meet new people. Just remember to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you’re nice to them, most people will be nice to you.” She learns the hard way that not all children follow that same philosophy, though. Some of them are bossy and downright mean.
Luckily, there are plenty of other nice children, including Andrea, who she finds out lives down the street from her. Katy and “Andi” become fast friends—and they learn how God told Noah to build the ark. God even sent a rainbow as a message to Noah, and now rainbows remind us that God is watching over us just like he did for Noah.
Join Katy and her friends as they sing songs, make a cardboard ark, color the rainbow, and learn valuable lessons about how to treat others.
