“Get to Know King David” by Nancy I. Sanders
is a colorful, interesting, and educational book.
This children’s book seems to be
appropriate for kids as young as age six. It is a chapter book: Sanders
organizes her book into twelve chapters that span David’s life beginning with
chapter 1 “A Shepherd Boy” to chapter 12 “David’s Throne Forever.” The purpose
of the book is to introduce kids to King David – to show the various parts of
his life from killing Goliath, to fleeing from Saul, to becoming King, to
seeking God with his whole heart.
The illustrations and art in this
book make it educational – even for adults! Sanders includes present-day photos
from the Holy Land, photos of ancient artifacts, maps, and more. She’s also
included four features to increase her readers’ understanding of the content: “Bible
Hero” in which she highlights Bible heroes such as Peter and Nathan, “Eyewitness
Account” where she includes information from someone who witnessed an event, “Did
You Know?” Where she lists various facts, and “Word Bank” which gives meanings
of words the reader may not know. Sanders has expertly combined research and
narrative to make this an entertaining and educational read for kids, and I
definitely recommend it. It is informative, objective, and prompts further
study.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
