  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Beautiful free illustrations

Thanks again to Kari at Healed Waters for sharing this with us:

There are scores of beautiful illustrations from old Bible readers - all old enough to now be in public domain (not subject to copyright laws) at LaVista Church of Christ's website.

You might want to bookmark the site for illustrations for blogs, cards or readers you put together for your children. To use them, right click on the image and save to your computer. Once that's done, you can use them just as you use any pictures from your camera.

There are illustrations of Bible stories like this:

When Jesus calmed the storm on the sea of Galilee

As well as generic illustrations like these:

I love this one of Moses:

And this one of the mothers bringing the children to Jesus:

Have fun everyone! And thanks Kari!

Love,

Thank you so much for featuring these! I've bookmarked the page; and you're right, the illustration of Moses in the basket is beautiful.
