David and Goliath

The big Thanksgiving football scrimmage is coming, and Chloe's team has a giant: a stuffed bear named Goliath who barely fits through the door. Then Titus picks little Hans the rooster to play receiver, and Hans is sure it's a bad idea. Footballs bounce off his beak. He runs the wrong way.

So Sassafras opens his Bible and tells the story of a shepherd boy who faced a giant with a sling and five smooth stones, and a God who is bigger than any giant.

It's a giggle-filled read-aloud for ages 3 to 8, with the real Bible story running straight through it. Every page is built like a paper diorama, with chunky paper toys and little details for small readers to spot.
