Tamika thinks that a popular star on "Most People Love Sydney" fits the bill... until Mr. Whittaker gets Tamika an interview with the celebrity herself! At the same time, Connie, Wooten, Tom and Bart hear that a Hollywood producer wants to make a commercial for Whit's End, and each of them offers their wacky ideas. Theme-Heroes 5. SUNDAY MORNING SCRAMBLE Sunday means church for the Washington family, and on this morning all of them are especially rushed.

Theme-Worship 6. POTENTIAL POSSIBILITIES Our friends in Odyssey find out a key truth about not neglecting their gifts -- and a surprise from Tom Riley's past! After years of making A's, Trent has finally made it into the Gifted Class at his school. But will he lose friends if he takes on a new level of academics? Meanwhile, Tom Riley discovers that Aubrey is quite the horsemaster and urges her to compete in a horse show. Theme-Using your gifts 7.

Theme-Fear 9. ...AND THAT'S THE TRUTH Tamika takes her Sunday School lesson to heart when she starts telling people what she thinks - honestly. Too bad she missed the `in love' part of the message. Jack, in the meantime, has a struggle with his new employee who needs to hear the truth but Jack is hesitant to share. All ends well for most everyone. Theme-Speak the truth in love 10. A LAMB'S TALE Tamika donates her beloved lamb to a local toy drive and then decides she really wants it back. We follow the lamb's tale throughout the story and find that her original sacrifice is exactly what she needed to do. Theme-Sacrifice 11. A GLASS DARKLY Trent wrestles between being in detention and auditioning for the local symphony. He keeps getting caught at the wrong place at the wrong time and earning more and more detention which certainly decreases his odds of making it to the auditions. Theme-Trusting in God 12. THE COOLEST DOG Marvin is the lead in his new band and isn't interested in taking advise from anyone; especially Tamika, who is the best musician in the bunch but isn't even part of the band.

This is a great CD. There are many good lessons. Our family enjoyed it. Our favorite was the last story!

Can't stop listening...:
My son loves all of the AIO stories and can't stop listening to them at bedtime. Problem is he stays up too late listening. These are great stories with solid moral themes. I also think they enhance a childs listening and imagination skills.
