I can't remember all of the stories, but it is a good balance of OT and NT. I have found it to be a great resource. It does have scripts, which are very creative and give good teaching/discussion options.
It is very easy to use.

We have this book and it is a fun set of lessons - but they are not all "scripts". They are a real variety. I would call them more interactive storytelling ideas than scripts. For example the first story is creation and the kids pull objects out of boxes for each day as the story is told. For Noah they each have a colored piece of paper and hold it up when they hear it mentioned in the story. For Tower of Babel it had us build a tower of index cards with words from the story written on them as they came up in the story. For the Thankful Leper there is a monolog for the teacher to present as the leper - complete with costume.
