My detective brain immediately went into action! Where did the necklace go? Will I get squashed once I shrink and become tiny? Will I be tiny forever? Did the mean bully, Bart the mosquito and his buddies, take it? Will Elliott and I get eaten by a hawk? This is a wild & crazy adventure where I quickly learn that God loves me and is always with me! And as I trust in Him and work with my new friends (even though we are all very different) we discover that we are stronger when we work together. Will I be able to solve this tricky case? Even if I am, only the size of a quarter?

We love this series!

I love this series. It was perfect for my 7 and 4 year old to listen to in the car. Its a simple story that teaches biblical truths. My favorite thing they learned from the book is about "popcorn prayers" its a quick prayer that you can just pop up to God quickly in the moment. My 4 year old will often tell me "Mom, I'm going to do a popcorn prayer". The audible reading is AI. So there are some quirky things. For example, there's a hissing sound at one point and instead of making the "S" sound for the hiss, the Voice says the name of the letter s about 15 times in a row. It made us laugh. I do wish the story was read by an actual person but it didnt effect our ability to enjoy the story.
