Illustrated by
Martina Peluso.
Og (the biblical character) is one tired, grouchy giant: he can't find a bed big enough to accommodate him. When Noah seeks his help bringing the animals to the ark, Og obliges, and God rewards him with a proper-size bed. The story has a straight-ahead, classic feel, and the steady-handed, painterly art has a warmth that undercuts Og's crabby disposition.
