David and Goliath, Heather Amery, Maria Wheatley, Norman Young
Neat little retelling!

[Whole And · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent retelling of the bible story of David and Goliath, simple language and detailed illustrations convey the message effectively.
The story can symbolically be used to look at a problem in life that feels like a 'Goliath' of a problem and how God helps us.

Very encouraging to read, reread and discuss.

terribly simplistic language and pictures.
