Caravan Bear once again hitches up Hector the horse to the brightly painted gypsy-style caravan and, with Whitby the dog and Christopher Rabbit, set off in search of new adventures. The travelling life of the caravan and its occupants provide the opportunity for Rabbit to share stories from the Bible with other animals they meet and they join Caravan Bear, Whitby and Hector in listening - and learning from - the stories. He is frequently interrupted by questions from his listeners, the kind of questions any child - or adult - might ask. The real and often humorous events that happen to Rabbit and his friends are mirrored by the stories from the Bible enabling children to realise that the stories have relevance and meaning today. The Animals' Caravan has echoes of children's classics such as Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland, as the caravan travellers form a great friendship on their journey together. Rabbit also finds himself on a journey of faith as he and his new friends wrestle with some of the often difficult concepts in the bible, thereby gaining fresh insights and understanding of God's loving involvement and care for the world.

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.
