David and Goliath
By Jean Marzollo
I really enjoyed
this wonderful version of the Bible story, David and Goliath; the
story of the Israelite shepherd boy who killed the giant champion
of the Philistines with his slingshot, and God's help of course.
This story takes on a whole new meaning in Marzollo's version. David
accepted the giant's challenge when none of the Israelite soldiers
would confront him. Goliath had been challenging the soldiers for
forty days, and each day they just ran away. Goliath laughed when
he saw David coming with only his slingshot and a handful of rocks.
The full-color drawings by the author will
put a smile on your children's faces. The tiny lambs that frolic
across the bottom of each page discuss the action throughout the
book and add chuckles to this beautiful Bible story.
Marzollo is a genius at presenting
Biblical stories in a manner that appeals to young children, and
still gets the story across in a memorable way.
Add this great book to your gift list
for your favorite children, and be sure to share the joy of reading
it with them.
