Beautiful Story!
This is a victorious story, great for teaching kids the power of calling out to Jesus when scared. The little lamb is in a dark place and when he cries for help the lion comes to rescue him. The lamb has the mark of the Lion which offers him the great protection of the lion from the dragon. The illustrations are beautiful!

Great read for littles
Loved this book. I read it for my churchâs preschool Storytime. Beautiful illustrations. Great correlations to the Bible and easy to understand for littles. I really like the back pages of the book that show where in the Bible to find things and explains the correlations to talk over with your child.

Highly recommend!
This is a wonderful, child-friendly story of how God protects us. It impacted my 3-year-old and 5-year-old and they couldn’t put it down. It was also relatable to them as they easily identified with the sheep in the story. There are further explanations at the back of the book. We highly recommend this to read to your children!

Teaching Valuable Lessons
I purchased both A Spider Story and Here at the Castle. The delightful stories and beautiful illustrations instill Biblical principles in young readers. These are books I will keep in my library long after the children outgrow them.

Beautiful artwork but too scary for my daughter (5)
The book is gorgeous. My daughter is 5 and is to scared if the dragon. She wasn’t able to finish it. She’s not familiar with hell or Satan yet, but the dragon was too much for her. I will try when she is older. I loved the back sessions explaining the characters and their meanings.

An Instant Classic
This instant classic follows a little lamb who cowers in a castle while a fierce dragon tries to consume him. Isolated and feeling defeated the lamb cries out for help and a great lion comes to save the day.This beautifully illustrated book is filled with biblical symbolism that can be used with various ages for lessons of faith. It is a great tool for understanding that even in our darkest moments, we are loved.

This book is delightful! The charming illustrations perfectly complement the narrative, bringing the story to life . It explores emotions that little ones can relate to â feeling lost, confused, afraid, and alone. We are reminded that even when we face dark times in life, God is there to provide peace, protection and guidance. My favourite moment in the book features a beautiful image of the lion shielding the lamb, symbolising protection and comfort amid uncertainty. This is a beautiful book full of reassurance and hope. Sure to become a treasured addition to many childrenâs bookshelves.

Even without the biblical side of this story it can be easily enjoyed from anyone of all ages, taking away individual themes and messages. To me it was about frienship and kindness and looking out for people who need help and a little guidance. I enjoyed the rhymes based theme which added the perfect little touch in the finished product.
