The 1983 C. S. Lewis Gold Medal Winner reprint--82 original robust nursery rhymes, each with a picture (one-half in color), based on Biblical characters and events. Ideal for bedtime reading, Sunday school lessons, children's church, and lifetime enjoyment.  Rahab was a pretty girl/ Who liked to primp and strut./ Neighbors thought her very haughty--/ Naughty as can be! But// Secretly she heard God's voice/ And acted on the matter./ In Jericho she saved two spies/ With her red rope ladder. (Joshua 2:1-24; 6:17-25) //// Eden was perfect/ Till Eve burst the bubble;/ She ate what she shouldn't.../ Then came the trouble. (Genesis 2:8-3:24)
