(3) K-3 Marzollo's light retelling of this Hebrew Bible story focuses on Jonah's need for forgiveness from God and his reluctance to pardon his enemies. The story, with its thought bubbles and cartoonlike illustrations, is approachable while staying true to the original. The text is intended to spark discussion, which is modeled by octopi in the border who react to the unfolding story.
