About the Book
Ella is an adventurous beagle who loves going exploring down by the riverbank, where she can admire all God’s creatures. When she goes splashing in the water, she runs into cattails. When she goes digging in the mud, she finds water muscles. Canadian geese fly overhead, while fish swim freely below.
Ella discovers all sorts of amazing things in nature, all masterfully made by her Creator. Afterwards, a tired Ella takes a much-deserved rest.
Tales of the Riverbank teaches children about nature while also using counting exercises to help them know their numbers. Scripture verses illuminate the Word of God. Through her adventures on the riverbank, Ella learns about numbers and her relationship to the Creator—and kids can, too!
