About the Book:
Come along with the Johnson clan on their adventures in God’s amazing classroom of nature. Discover the mystery behind a magically-moving popsicle stick; Watch Auntie and Uncle on a too-exciting camel ride; Investigate spider traps; Giggle and fret over cute and crawly things. Around the globe and in the front yard, they are always having fun and learning!
Marilyn Johnson has woven together a delightful collection of true children’s stories, each calculated to teach a specific character-building lesson. Using illustrations drawn from the natural world, she writes as an eyewitness to each interesting incident. She captures the joy and wonder of the children as they move from one experience to another. ~ Bill Krick, Literature Ministries Director
I love a story with a lesson. The author has successfully turned true life events into humorous, enduring lessons for all of us. Her true stories of life abroad, or on the farm with her young family, entertain as well as give us biblical truths. Her stories give us vivid descriptions of the events along with thoughts and conversations we can all relate to. As an animal lover, I appreciate the nature facts and loving attitude she displays in her writing, especially towards squawky Cocky. These stories will endure from generation to generation. God's love and truth is evident throughout. Truly a pleasure to read and share with my kids. ~ Amy Merriam, Registered Dental Hygienist and Mother of Three
The stories in The Walking Popsicle Stick are attractive, engaging, and educational. They were so fun I didn’t realize all the moral lessons I was learning. As a kid, I have enjoyed The Walking Popsicle Stick, and I am sure you will too. If you are looking for a solid, amazing book for your kids this is the book for you. I would recommend this book to anyone. ~ Iaroslav Lotca Puente, Student, Age 10
With an unusually deep cultural understanding, Marilyn Johnson has gathered from a goldmine of real experiences to create this book. Her unique, educational stories open our eyes to God’s intriguing creatures and convey valuable life lessons for young and old. ~ Heather Krick, Home Schooling Mom
What a fun read for the whole family! You get to learn how amazing God's creatures are and how we can learn from them. Mrs. Johnson was the kindergarten class chaplain where I taught. The students were excited to hear her stories and were amazed by the many first-hand experiences she shared with us. She has a heart full of love for kids of all ages and wants each one to know Jesus as their best Friend! ~ Marla Rasmussen, Principal/Teacher
