Jonah and the Whale By Rosemary Lanning	When Jonah, refusing his Lord's request to spread the Word to the people in the corrupt city of Nineveh, heads for the high seas, the Lord summons up a terrible storm that threatens all aboard and sends Jonah into the watery depths where he is swallowed by a whale. Trapped for days in the belly of the whale, Jonah sees the error of his ways and is mercifully set free to fulfill his mission. The story of Jonah is an exciting tale of danger and adventure that offers children a direct and satisfying lesson in disobedience, punishment, forgiveness, and redemption. Bernadette Watt's illustrations, done in a gentle naif folk art style, exude warmth and childlike appeal, making this simple retelling of the Old Testament story accessible to a young audience.

Jonah and the Whale (and the Worm) By Jean Marzollo	Marzollo continues her series of accessible retellings of Bible stories. After God releases Jonah from the whale, the prophet remains reluctant to fulfill God's mandate that he preach to the Ninevites. He finally does so, and although they change their ways, Jonah still feels that they should be punished for their past sins. As he waits outside the city, hoping that God will destroy at least part of it, he observes the actions of a humble cutworm and learns a lesson about God's love that convinces him to forgive his enemies. The expressive watercolor illustrations and gentle text provide a solid starting point for collaborative reading and discussion. The text alternates between omniscient narration and dialogue between Jonah and God. Tiny octopuses in the margins also comment on the tale, foreshadowing events and prompting page turns. This book is a fun, unpretentious take on a favorite old story. Description from School Library Journal This story is more than a typical Bible picture book. Jean Marzollo created a book in which children will find something new each time they read it (and they will want to read it over and over again)! The book features a conversational narrative, comic-book style conversations, and an octopus's commentary at the bottom of each page encouraging children to think further about the story. An excellent choice for elementary school readers. Lori's Description

Jonah's Trash ... G-d's Treasure By Joel Anderson	The most creative telling of the story of Jonah that you've ever seen. This new picture book by award winning designer Joel Anderson and Illustrator Abe Goolsby features a creative art style using Jonah's Trash to illustrate the story focusing on G-d's Treasure. Provides hours of fun, riddle solving and seek-and-find as in the best-selling I Spy books. Description from Publisher Part "I Spy" game and part parable, Anderson's clever picture book is an eye-catching adventure. In rhyming couplets, narrator Mr. Grungy tells the tale of Jonah and the Whale. Anderson adheres to succinct plotting in verse form, but the story grows confusing after Jonah converts the Ninevites by saying "Change now or you will die!" The brevity of the text doesn't allow room for an explanation of Jonah's feelings of anger toward God and bitterness toward the people of Nineveh. The real plus here is the 3-D multimedia artwork. Anderson and Goolsby have created collages from such found objects as bottle caps, telephone cords, crackers, cereal and pretzels. Despite the inanimate ingredients, the composite images of the central characters convey both mood and emotion; Jonah's face consists of a three-pronged electrical outlet sporting a thatch of beard, and the whale, comprised of a soda bottle, watch bands, a bicycle light and cooking spatulas is a glittering wonder. Each spread also contains a "Trash & Treasure Hunt" which challenges readers to locate particular objects in the artwork ("Find at least ten metal things/ and something which unlocks a door."). Youngsters will find it hard to resist this fun and novel approach to studying a classic Bible story. Description from Publishers Weekly
