Following the hugely successful 'Kings and Monkeys', 'Ugly Bugs and Apple Trees' is another collection of stories for primary school assemblies, telling the tales of kings and farmers, tailors and apple trees, brothers and neighbours, and many more besides. The tales are funny, poignant and thought-provoking. Each story is followed by a concluding piece which explores the theme and provides food for thought for those moments of reflection in assembly. The theme is explored in general terms and then with a Christian emphasis, so that those leading the assembly may choose the most appropriate for their situation.
