i am a huge fan of sally lloyd-jones, the author of the JSBB. that sweet bible is now being sold along with a set of 3 cds narrating the stories. and on her blog, she is posting some of these stories for all to enjoy. we love, love, LOVE it! we watched the corresponding story to yesterday's reading last night, and it was a big hit with the boys.

and she also has the story of jesus' birth posted to youtube right now. you can view that one here.

happy viewing!
