A superb series for primary school children about David. It stirred my own limp faith, let alone my three-year-old’s burgeoning spirituality … so well does the author understand the modern child.

Fiona Veitch Smith and Andy Catling have done an excellent job with Joseph. The text is fun, accessible and imaginative, yet still faithful to the biblical story. And best of all there are cows!
