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.
- Ideal for Children Ages 3–5: Teaches children about the arc of victory and defeat in a memorable rhyming style
- Short Enough for Bedtime: Approachable length makes it ideal for younger children
- Colorful and Whimsical: Artwork by Helena Pérez Garcia will help capture the imagination of its readers
“James Shrimpton’s rhyming drama The King and the Dragon brings back memories of reading with our own children and sometimes for the second or third time hearing cries of ‘Again! Again!’ I can well imagine The King and the Dragon will receive the same response in many families. Parents will enjoy reading it out loud, children’s fertile imaginations will be stimulated by its storyline, and—perhaps best of all—both will want to talk about what it all means again and again!”
