It’s just like the hard cover book, but better because it comes complete with jungle sounds to bring the atmosphere right to the page.

Now it comes to you to read on your iPhone or iPad and as a bonus, I actually read it along to you. Yes the story teller himself reads the story so you can follow along, simply lie back and listen or play and read the book to a group.You will hear the sounds of the jungle to take you right there in your imagination. The story actually finishes with the original Forgive and Forget song so you can sing along.

The prose version of this story was originally published by Tyndale House of Chicago in 1993 but this verse version had to wait for e-books to become an easy way to publish. Read by children in countries far and wide in its prose format, Colin now reads it to you in verse.
I wrote the verses in about 1987 but has only just now had the technology to combine verse, pictures and sound to bring you this wonderful listening/reading experience.
I’ve had letters from Africa, South America, North America and all over Australia telling mehow much school classes and families love the rhythm and language of this old tale adapted to Biblical values of forgiveness and love.
There was once a very short version of the verses shown in Australia as a television commercial and children memorised it within days. Even in the 2020s people still come up to me and recite the short poem to me.
You are sure to love either version, but if you have the hard copy of the original, this version will make you very happy. You will also love the illustrations painted by award winning Australian illustrator Craig Smith

As a bonus you get to listen as I read you the book The Fox-Proof Hen House
, complete with genuine chickens and roosters clucking away in the back ground just as if you were in an old abandoned farm house filled with stray chickens. You can almost smell them as you listen.
This is great advice from an unusual source: a motivational chicken! A slightly (un)orthodox ordained rooster in fact.
In the style of TV’s Dr Fillet, Jerry Springchicken and even Gus your tent captain at summer camp, Parson Snows tells it how it ought to be.
Peek in the old farmhouse window as Parson Snows gives a 20 second talk to chickens about keeping their houses safe from foxes
You will think that the feathered sage is speaking directly to you—about your life, the things in which you take pride and cherish most, even your disappointments and failures, your business, your relationships, your family and your future. You won’t believe that so much wisdom can be learned in only a few seconds from a mere chook!
As his collaborator and fellow motivational speaker I review Parson Snows back yard wisdom in peck-sized pieces.
