This is a new book Stefanie bought for Afton as part of our never ending search for things to keep her occupied during church. Afton was super excited for the handle on the book so she could carry it all over the house. The first Sunday she had it she carried it to church, chanting, "Mormon book! Mormon book!" It goes through many familiar stories from the Book of Mormon (Tree of Life, Abinadi, Christ's visit to America), as well as some not so familiar ones (Hagoth). Each story has two pages of cartoon illustrations and a short poem.
Afton's favorite parts of the book:
"Wee-a-hona, it is kind of like a ball."
"Ammon has to protect the sheep. Those guys are scared to Ammon."
"He has to go up the tower to talk to the people. The people listen in their tents." (King Benjamin"
"The mean people try to throw things at him, but they miss. He is safe." (Samuel the Lamanite)
"There's their mom to teach, because they forgot their shirts." (Strippling Warriors)
"There's their mom to teach, because they forgot their shirts." (Strippling Warriors)
I'll say I'm mildly more pleased to read this book with Afton than Teletubbies Christmas that we've gone over 2,532 times.

That is the sweetest thing! I want to get that book. Dude... you don't know the story of Hagoth? Where have you been?
"...because they forgot their shirts." LOL! That is classic!
