Product Description
Ben and the Big Game
Author: Zuléka Smit • Illustrator: Johann Strauss
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 5+
Ben is going to play in his very first rugby match. Just thinking about the game gives Ben a tummy ache.
Ben scores an awesome try during the game ... but under the wrong goalposts! His little heart feels very bad because of his mistake, but Daddy reads to him from the children’s Bible that he does not have to feel ashamed of mistakes.
Ben en die groot wedstryd is a lovely story that teaches children that everyone makes mistakes sometimes and that it should never get you down, but rather that you should learn from mistakes and always try again.
