This retelling of the story of Jonah is taken straight from scripture, with references and quotations. It is written in a way that is easy for kids to read and understand. Simple, childlike illustrations will appeal to young children. At the end of story are points for discussion, a life lesson about obedience, and a prayer which are excellent as a conversational guide for parents. This book affords an engaging opportunity for parents and kid to share in an educational and enriching Bible study time.

Good for big kids too.

Short but an excellent summary of Jonah. It only takes a few minutes to read. If you have kids the questions at the end could generate some thought provoking discussion.

A few minor formatting issues where it looked like the return key was hit in the middle of a sentence.

Excellent resource to aide in teaching children what obedience is; why it is so important; who they should be obedient to; when they should be obedient. It's unfortunate, but we have to be extremely careful with our children and who we allow to teach and direct them. These lessons should be taught at home first. Home should always be the original source of information for lessons learned.

Good description

It really teaches, pictures are not that much of use. Five stars if it were. Good anyway. Not that bad.
