The King and the Dragon

Picture Book for Kids Ages 3-5 Celebrates God’s Ultimate Victory Over Sin and Death

When the knight slays the dragon in any story, readers and listeners all cheer in celebration. We rejoice because it echoes the Bible--the victory of good over evil is a prominent theme because the Lord came to have final victory over the devil.

In this imaginative story, James Shrimpton teaches children the story of redemption in the Bible through the lens of dragon slaying. With a memorable rhyming style, engaging artwork, and theologically grounded storytelling, this book is perfect for teaching children the story of Christ’s defeat of sin, death, and evil.
