The Flying Machine

A Story of Obedience

Grades Preschool – 2
Ages 4–7

Beloved character Adam Raccoon returns in a classic new edition of Disney animator Glen Keane’s beloved series with a story about the importance of listening to the right voices!

Adam has always wanted to fly like his friend Sam. Good thing King Aren has just the right flying machine for Adam to build! The only catch? Adam has to follow the rule book and listen to a turtle named Ernest. How boring and slow!

What will happen to Adam if he ignores King Aren’s warning and builds the machine with no instructions? Will he survive his first flight?

Paired with the energetic and graceful illustrations from Disney animating veteran Glen Keane and interwoven with the message of how important it is to read the Bible and listen to God’s voice, The Flying Machine is an exciting Adam Raccoon adventure kids and parents won’t want to miss!
