We search for effective new ways to engage young minds with the excitement and lessons found in the Bible. Bobby Goldsboro’s faith, talent, and insight as an entertainer and children’s writer, combine in the first two books of this new series. Bobby has taken some of the favorite Bible stories and put them together with creative and fun new animal characters. He has skillfully molded four Old Testament classics through the eyes of a scruffy little mouse, Cheze, and his bigger pal and narrator, a duck called Kwackers.

Book 1 - Noah and the Ark - starts with Cheze’s matchbox home being washed away by the rains. David and Goliath features Cheze standing up against a big, bullying rat.

Book 2 - Jonah and the Whale - features a big Bass fish as the whale. In Daniel and the Lion’s Den, Cheze is surrounded by alley cats. In each story, as Kwackers narrates the story to Cheze, Cheze’s imagination takes over, and the illustrations portray him at the center of the unfolding tale.

Bobby Goldsboro started his career in the early 1960’s as a guitarist with Roy Orbison, and soon became a legend in his own right with hit songs including Honey and Little Green Apples. Brought up in the Christian faith, he always had a goal to use his talents to educate and entertain children. With incredible success as a popular songwriter and performer, Bobby redirected his career in the mid 1980’s to devote time to writing and producing children’s stories with a sound moral and Christian basis. His first effort, Easter Egg Mornin’, achieved significant success, premiering in 1991 as an animated Easter special on The Disney Channel followed by a 36-page color read-along book and audiocassette. In the field of children’s entertainment, Bobby is best known for his television and children’s book series, The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon.
