No these stories stand alone. But, the stories in the books do connect to the episodes which are referenced on the last page along with a Bible verse and associated Slugs & Bugs songs.
The workshop is an imaginative and wonder-filled space where kids and families are invited to join in creative expressions of all kinds with Slugs & Bugs characters Doug, Sparky, Morty and Maggie. Life in the workshop is filled with finding joy and delight in everyday experiences and everyone’s different contributions in God’s big world.
