Very Fun Book!!!

My son loves this book! He enjoys finding the items over and over. However, being a stickler, I also noticed an error as the other reviewer did. He asked the kids to find the screws, but most of them were bolts. I annoy people with stuff like that, but I like being precise! Bravo to the Author and Illustrators. I think I can see one of them in the door knob reflection! Barbara

Very Cool

So many children's books are just junk. This one is too, but for once that's a compliment. My 4 year-old picked this out, and now it's one of our favorites. The illustrations are so detailed that we can spend ten minutes just pointing out different things on one page, and this is the neatest retelling of the Jonah story I've ever seen. I always talk to my daughter as we read, and it was clear she understood the point exactly.

Wonderful, unusual, captivating childrens' book

My kids love this book, and they choose it over and over again to be read to them. They also love to scour the pages for all the hidden items they need to find. The unique illustrations keeps them alert and interested while listening to one of the best Bible stories for children.

No Matter What They Think--You're Special!

Unlike other retellings of the story of Jonah, this charming book focuses not on the point that Jonah tried to run from God and couldn't--but rather on the fact that though Jonah (God's chosen messenger, no less!) thought the people of Nineveh were bad, and therefore unworthy of God's love and mercy, GOD thought they were good and was determined to show His love to them. A powerful message for adults and the children they read along wtih. The illustrations are so imaginative, as well! I highly recommend this book!

Most creative book you've ever seen!

This book is not only a fun re-telling of the story of Jonah, but the most imaginative re-telling you've ever seen. Illustrated completely with trash, your children will have hours of fun looking for things like goldfish, candy, popcycle sticks and more in the pictures. Each full color spread also features "seek and find" elements to add more to the fun. You'll love it!
