The people are camped at the water's edge, and a new leader named Joshua is told four words that carry the whole book: be strong and brave. Then the river stops, the people walk across on dry ground, and the very first city in their way has walls too tall to climb.Joshua and the Walls of Jericho retells the book of Joshua for children ages 3 to 8, in short warm lines a preschooler can follow and a new reader can read alone.
