David and Goliath

David and Goliath
Author: N/A
Illustrated by John Patience

This pop-up book is about the Bible story of David and Goliath.  The story tells us that during the kingdom of Saul there was a man whose name was Jersey and who had a so  named David.  David was a Shepherd who would take care of his father's sheep, played the harp, and praised God.  At one point of time King Saul asked for David to go and play harp for him to cheer him up.  The Israelites are at war with the Philistines.  Their champion warrior Goliath asked to get someone to fight him and David volunteered to go and fight him.  When Goliath saw him he laughed but then David defeated the giant and the Israelites won the war.

I would ask the principal of the school if I could use this book in my class as a literary source for the children. Since religious literature is actually helpful to help build background knowledge for children.  I would use this book as a read aloud.  I believe this book would be good from Pre-K through 2nd grade.
