In Book 1 of the Mr. How Do You Do series, travel with Mr. How Do You Do as he asks:

• Is God too high above to hear me?
• Does He care what I have to say?
• Does He want to speak to me?

Watch how his simple prayer: “Oh, dear Jesus, teach me to pray . . .” takes him on an incredible journey with his feathered friend Ruby Robin. Through beautiful illustrations and childlike communication, Mr. How Do You Do teaches children (and adults alike) that prayer is just as easy as a conversation with a friend. We serve a living God who wants to hear from us and communicate to us every day. If you’ve ever wondered how to communicate the importance and power of prayer to your child, Mr. How Do You Do Learns to Pray is a great resource to help you do just that.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kelly Johnson is a lover of Jesus. She’s convinced that as children (of all ages) encounter His love and His character-in a relational way-their lives will be forever changed. Mr. How Do You Do is a whimsical, joy-filled teacher. Her prayer is that through his stories, many will learn invaluable life lessons and experience lavish love and boundless joy!

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: Jan Hamilton is grateful for the opportunity and gift of art the Lord has provided, allowing her to be a part of the Mr. How Do You Do series. “He is the author and finisher of our faith. Everything I am and have is a gift from Him.”

This true children’s story is told by a little bonsai tree, called Miyajima, that lived with the same family in the Japanese city of Hiroshima for more than 300 years before being donated to the National Arboretum in Washington DC in 1976 as a gesture of friendship between America and Japan to celebrate the American Bicentennial.

From the Book:
“In 1625, when Japan was a land of samurai and castles, I was a tiny pine seedling. A man called Itaro Yamaki picked me from the forest where I grew and took me home with him. For more than three hundred years, generations of the Yamaki family trimmed and pruned me into a beautiful bonsai tree. In 1945, our household survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1976, I was donated to the National Arboretum in Washington D.C., where I still live today—the oldest and perhaps the wisest tree in the bonsai museum.”

A timeless classic, Topsys and Turvys Number 2 is the perfect interactive book for people of all ages.

It’s been 120 years since Peter Newell’s enduringly popular Topsys and Turvys 2—the sequel to his bestselling Topsy and Turvys—was first published in the United States. Using the same ingenious style and imagination, he invents worlds of confusion and fun as he transforms hunters into bears, has a buffalo converse with a tree frog, or creates and illustrates, pure nonsense. The story changes depending on if you are holding the action book “upside-down” or “right-side-up.”

These beautiful classic books reproduce all of the brilliant color and charm of the originals, all while ensuring that Topsys and Turvys can be shared and enjoyed anew by future generations.

Peter Newell (1862-1924) began his career as an artist drawing portraits, using crayons as his medium. In his fantastic humor, many believe, is the first appearance of the gentle humor of the absurd which The New Yorker has subsequently developed to such a high level. Tuttle Publishing has kept in print Newell’s retro books for the new generation to enjoy a whimsical, thought-provoking look at life.
