said, 'Go to Nineveh this day.
Preach to all the people there.
Though they sin, tell them I care.
Tell them they need to repent.'
Yes, Jonah was the one that God sent.
But, stubborn Jonah fled instead.
Didn't do what God had said."

I'm always excited to get children's books in the mail to review. Jonah and the Great Big Fish is written by Rhonda Gowler Greene and Illustrated by Margaret Spengler. This book is for children ages 4-8 and published by Zonderkidz. This story is told in rhyme and has been illustrated with bright, beautiful pictures designed to keep a child's attention. Even my 2 year old has enjoyed this book, and when he sees the cover starts saying, "JONAH!" I like that each page has just a few words on it to tell the story. This is great for small children who have a hard time sitting still long enough for a story. Another fun aspects is that some of the words actually do what they say. Such as when the word "sink" is used, the font on the page is actually stepping down, or "wide" has a font that is W-I-D-E. These aspects are just added fun for the reader.
If you're looking for a book that will appeal to the younger kids and maybe you're older ones could read to them, pick up Jonah and the Great Big Fish!
