Jackson McDoo and Donny, Too — J.A. Zilske

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in a toy store? Wouldn't it be great to be surrounded by colorful trucks, exciting games, beautiful dolls, interesting books and the most fantastic assortment of stuffed animals you've ever seen? Well, that's just what Jackson McDoo gets to experience when he begins to work in his grandfather's toy shop. But that's just the beginning of the story. Once The Toy Box is locked up tight, something strange and wonderful happens. Join the adventure and discover why Donny and his friends risk all for love and friendship. This fanciful story touches not only the creative side of the imagination, but the deeper principles of friendship and faith on a level children can relate to and understand. There are fourteen brief chapters and a glossary. Also available is an in-depth parent/teacher guide full of exciting activities. Included are writing, art, and spiritual questions and prompts. The activities are meant to simulate growth and learning, whether in a group-oriented classroom or a one-to-one parent and child setting.
