About the author

When Kelly Pulley was very young he dreamed of being a cowboy, unfortunately he didn’t have a horse, a hat or a rope, so his range riding dreams were temporarily corralled. He did have a Deluxe 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with a built-in sharpener — so instead of cow poking, he became an artist.
Now Kelly is a full-time writer and illustrator of children’s picture books. He teaches and entertains kids with his humorous books and inspires them to discover their own creative voices through his YouTube videos. He has illustrated numerous children’s books including many in the Best-selling Beginner’s Bible and Veggie Tales series.

He has authored and illustrated several picture books, including the outlandish and wacky Ten Unusual Features of Lulu McDunn (Gauthier Publishing), and the humorous, Bicycle-themed Bicycling Rules of the Road, and The Cycling Wangdoos, (Schiffer Publishing).

Kelly is also the author of the inspirational Magnificent Tales series, Food for a Fish — The Whopping Story of Jonah and the Whale, Good News of Great Joy — The Amazing Story of Jesus’ Birth, The Biggest and Toughest — The Short Story of David’s Big Faith, Daniel for Lunch — The Tasty Tale of Daniel in the Lion’s Den and Treasury of Bible Stories — Rhythmical Rhymes of Biblical Times (David C. Cook).

Kelly writes, illustrates, films, directs and edits, original stories and poems weekly for his YouTube channel, Kelly Pulley’s Storybook Studio.


His illustrating clients include: Zonderkidz, Worthy-Ideals, David C. Cook, Lifeway, Wiley Publications, United Methodist Publishing House, The Clever Factory, Studio Fun International.

[Kristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

My kids thought that this was the coolest book ever because they KNEW the story. We have read this book numerous times and they enjoy reading it every time. This is also an AR book for anyone who might want to know. This is a great book for beginner readers. It really helps to build their confidence and helps them to know more about Bible stories. I would recommend this book to others.

Bible 127

[Angela De Groot · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beginner reader’s Bible story. Short simple sentences and colorful art bring the David and Goliath story to life.

A great little book sharing the Biblical story of David and Goliath, with interesting drawings the young mind will love!

I would recommend reading the Biblical story along with your children after this book, which can be found in 1 Samuel 17 in the KJV. I'd use this as a supplement to the Bible story, but not a substitute. The Bible is the most important Book one could ever read...and even kids can understand that. ;)

Matthew 19:26 (KJV) - But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Jesus loves you!
For Jesus first loved me.... <3
