Ricky Meets a Giant — S.Q. Eads

Ricky's first adventure takes him to the Biblical time of David and Goliath. Ricky, the rock squirrel, like many children, thinks he is smarter than his mother. When she tells Ricky the stream bed is a dangerous place, he ignores her warning. Ricky determines to explore this new and exciting land. His adventure soon turns scarey when he is scooped up by a human hand, slipped into a sling and unwillingly rides the stone that fells a giant. His mother was right after all and Ricky rushes back to her loving arms. Ricky has learned his lesson of obedience.
