Christopher Rabbit opened the Bible. "This story is about friends."

He looked around the warm and cosy room. The faces of his friends were lit up in the fire's bright blaze.

"I am a lucky rabbit," he thought to himself, before starting to read. "Jesus had a message from God which he knew he had to share..."

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. What's a miracle? Did Jesus' feet get wet when he walked on water? Why did Jesus delay going to see Lazarus?

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