I received a copy of GET TO KNOW KING DAVID by Nancy I.
Sanders from Zonderkids via BookSneeze. It
is part of the “Full-Color Biography for Kids” series. I read MARY in the past and loved the
installment, so I was excited to receive this one. I was doubly excited because I just watched a
movie on King David so I wanted to compare fact to fiction.
Surprisingly, the movie was quite spot-on. It was from the 1970’s, but the quality was
still good. My parents and I both watched
the movie, so we read this autobiography together. We would often say, “That’s just like in the
movie!” For example, the characters referred
to God as Yahweh.
The autobiography starts off by referencing historical
research done to prove King David’s existence.
I found that interesting, as I had never doubted him to be a real
person, nor have I ever heard anyone express doubts in that regard.
The series uses timelines, photographs, and paragraphs to
explain history and the Bible. Terms
children might not know are included at the bottoms of the pages. I will be passing this on to a younger cousin
of mine. I highly recommend this for
families, children, and classroom settings.
