Written in simple language, with full-color art for younger children, this volume presents nine well-known stories from the Old Testaments.

Joseph and his rainbow-colored coat, Joseph's adventures in Egypt, the life of Moses, David and Goliath, Jonah and the enormous fish, and Daniel in the lion's den. Each story comprises its own separate section of about 500 to 700 words, set in large type for young readers.
