NCLA Review: This familiar Bible story about Jonah, who was swallowed by a whale, is presented in a humorous, comic book like fashion. The prophet Jonah loved God, but he did not want to go to the big city of Ninevah when God directed him to do so. When Jonah tried to sail instead to Tarshish, God sent a big storm. Jonah was swallowed by a whale. He stayed in the whale’s belly for three days until the whale set him free, right where God wanted him to be. The font is comfortably large for the young reader. The illustrations with their comic book style are almost a distraction, however. Grades 1-3. Rating: 3 —MMW ( )
