There were no cartoons to watch. Tiny Tov and Ms DeeDee I think. The magic feather ship. And that crazy little song. I still recite the song to the young people I work with to make them think I may be nuts. I love it. I remember all the great Bible stories presented. I think of this show often and will always have a place in my heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766838402687712944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-16962242040335803132017-03-03T22:06:29.695-06:002017-03-03T22:06:29.695-06:00We loved this show!
