"Christopher Rabbit looked around the wide circle of animals, insects, and birds. What story would they all like?- "Please help me, God," he thought. He opened his eyes and suddenly knew which story to tell. He fetched his Bible, settled down on the top step of the caravan and opened it".

Caravan Bear once again hitches up Hector the horse to the brightly painted gypsy-style caravan and, with Whitby the dog and Christopher Rabbit, sets off in search of new adventures. Enjoy Rabbit's storytelling along the way, interrupted with frequent questions from the travellers and other animals they meet. Why didn't God stop Jacob pretending to be Esau? Why did Joseph pretend not to know his brothers at first? Where does God live? Why do we need commandments?

The Animals' Caravan has echoes of children's classics such as The Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland, as the caravan travellers form a great friendship on their journey together.
