Marzollo retells these Hebrew Bible stories in a conversational style. Varied typefaces emphasize the tales' drama. The simple watercolor paintings feature heavy black outlines on white backgrounds. Marzollo takes liberties with the material (silly talking animals on the bottom of each page), but the retellings capture the essence of the stories and serve as adequate introductions. Review covers these titles: Daniel in the Lions' Den, David and Goliath, and Miriam and Her Brother.
