What happens when we reject the way God intends for us to live and try to create a life of our own choosing? In this memorable yet tragic tale, Pygo finds out the hard way that freeing himself from God’s design only leads to destruction.

“Children will be delighted with the musical cadences and the humorous illustrations in this well-crafted, age-appropriate tragedy. Begged to read Pygo aloud over and over, adults will appreciate the allusions and ironies. A charming exposé on Darwin’s impossible theory, Steven Warhurst’s new book is the fittest!”
—Douglas Bond, author of children’s book God’s Servant Job and numerous books of historical fiction, biography, and practical theology
“Here is a puzzling parable. It’s likely to provoke good conversation not just with the kids in your family but with the adults who will be similarly challenged to join the debate. I wish I’d had this discussion with my own children years ago.”
—Joel Belz, founder of World News Group
“It is said that if you want someone to know something, tell them. If you want them to understand something, tell them again. But if you want someone to love something, tell them a story. That is precisely what Steven Warhurst and April Rees have done in this delightful book. They’ve told a wonderful story that prompts us to love what is right and good and true—while simultaneously helping us to know and understand both the beauty of God’s created order and the dangers inherent in violating His gracious commands.”
—George Grant, pastor of Parish Presbyterian Church, Franklin, Tennessee

Bec Pygo the free is a story unlike others, which was the reason for adding it to my bookshelf. In Proverbs 14:12 it says "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death." This is a cleverly written tale to explain what that means, in the story of a fish who thinks he knows what is best by ignoring the advice of the wise and breaks the boundaries that are just there to 'ruin his fun'. An excerpt: ["He said, "That law keeps fishkind enslaved; true freedom is found on the land. I bet it was written to spoil our fun, to keep us from joy in the sand."] He continues to believe the lie that his way is the only way to freedom, who finds out in the end that he was wrong, it only leads to destruction. In fact God's way is the only way that leads to life, which is stated in the end verse. At the end of the book there are questions for discussion with additional verses to look up together, as well as things to note from the story. Includes 2 verses at the start of the story and 2 at the end. My only criticism would be that is doesn't explain a lot about the freedom that is found in Jesus Christ. Maybe because this is predominately a 'cautionary' tale and the notes at the end of the book help parents to discuss these points further together.
