At Papa's Knee is a series of children's books based on the life and writings of the Rev. L. A. Meade family. With tales woven in a homey farm setting, the escapades and adventures of the Meade children serving as the basis for Biblically-based life-lessons. As the children turn to Papa in their difficulties, his kindly advice is encapsulated in a memorable story which is easy for children to remember and apply to their everyday experience. Each story is followed by scriptures applicable to the lesson as well as questions to spark discussion and a prayer to end the story time. The books are ideal for bedtime stories, as well as family devotions. A valuable complement to Sunday School, camp lessons or rainy-day activities, these are fun stories with an eternal purpose! Older children will enjoy reading these stories over and over again. Richly illustrated, the At Papa's Knee series recalls the old series of Uncle Arthur books, so popular from long ago. Virtue, character, manners, and scriptural principles are made easily understandable in a practical and memorable way through the antics and exploits of the Meade children.
