The Adventures of Thomas the Scaredy Cat - Paperback

by Christian (Author), Leslie Chase (Author)

The Adventures of Thomas the Scaredy Cat is a fish-out-of-water story. Thomas is the happy-go-lucky youngest in a family of forest cats. His stern father incorporates him into a program to toughen him up and prepare him for the future. Part of the program is he must learn to hunt for food like a proper cat, but Thomas doesn't want to. Undaunted, Papa takes him into the forest and leaves him on an outcrop over a herd of deer, with orders to make his rite of passage. Thomas reluctantly complies. Taking a great leap, he falls on one of the little fawns knocking her unconscious. However, when he realizes what he's done, he breaks down in tears and begins to pray over her. Hearing his entreaties, God heals the young fawn, and the two creatures fall in love and embark on a great adventure together. We hope you will find great joy with your children during storytime reading to The Adventures of Thomas the Scaredy Cat. It is our prayer that our little tale will inspire readers, young and old, to have a deeper love for creatures of the forest, become a little braver, and see how love, friendship, and faith can save the world.
