Lions, sheep, a serpent, ravens, a dove, a whale, plagues of frogs and locusts - creatures of all shapes and sizes make their way through some of the most colourful stories in the Old Testament. In ten vivid retellings, Mary Hoffman shows how animals have confronted, helped and inspired Old Testament figures, accompanied by Jackie Morris's beautiful watercolour illustrations.
