Right here (http://pfm.activematter.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=4709).

I specifically remember one version of the parable of the Good Samaritan told when I was perhaps six or seven. In the parable, the Samaritan takes the injured man to an inn on his donkey. Our flannelgraph set only had one version of the injured man--stretched out and bleeding. In the section where he is taken to the inn, our Sunday School teacher just put that figure on the stock flannelgraph donkey, where he balanced like a pancake on a bunny's head.

I love flannelgraph.

They are coming back into fashion- in a techo world story telling is increasingly popular.

I have some late 70's early 80's flannelgraph stories with all the pieces.
