(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jago. This retelling of "Jonah and the Great Fish" uses contemporary language ("That Nineveh's a horror show") in sometimes-awkward rhyming lines. The refrain, "Oh no, Jonah!" allows listeners to chime in as Jonah continually fights God's will. Jago's art brings biblical characters, the desert, the sea, and a giant fish to life in electrifying colors. This may be useful for religious instruction.
