Summary
The timeless stories from the Old Testament have captivated generations. In this lush storybook, the fresh voice of lyrical storyteller Donna Jo Napoli and the lavish artwork of Christina Balit bring classic stories to life for a young, modern audience.
Noah's Ark, Moses, David and Goliath, the ten plagues, Daniel and the lion's den, Jonah and the giant fish, and many more of the Bible's most powerful stories-27 in all-are compellingly retold in this beautifully illustrated treasury.
