Discussion Guide - Read 2 Peter 1:16. Discuss how the authors of the Bible claim to be writing history, not myths.

The rhyming lines in this book make it fun to read. Why can humans play around with language in ways that animals cannot?
Discussion Guide - Read Genesis 1:27. Discuss how humans are the only creatures made in God’s image. Because God communicates through language, as HIs image-bearers, we can as well!

Rapunzel kept hearing the prince wrong. Why do we sometimes not understand one another?
Discussion Guide - Read Romans 8:22-23. Discuss how all creation is under the curse of sin. Part of this curse means that we do not always understand others correctly. But when Jesus returns, there will not be any more confusion in our communication.
