(3) K-3 Master Illustrator series. Spirin illustrates the creation story using text from the New International Version of the Bible. Detailed paintings show realistic figures and animals set within varied compositional configurations, including circles, half circles, and elongated archway shapes. The culminating page (also the book's jacket) shows five concentric circles with the early days of creation on the outside and Adam and Eve in the center.
