Jonah's Whale

Eileen Spinelli

God made Whale and gave him a home in the blue-deep waters of the sea, a family with whom he could play and splash, and a joyful song to sing. And then one day, when a wild storm raged above, God gave Whale a job to do. Whale"s faithful spirit fills the pages of this vibrant story and gives a new twist to the classic, well-loved biblical tale.

Eileen Spinelli"s charming retelling of this familiar story will delight readers of all ages, as will Giuliano Ferri"s rich and vivid illustrations.

Praise for this book

Foreword Reviews
"Both approachable and packed with information, this mini biography introduces children to the history of the thesaurus and its author, inspiring interest in nature, categorization, intellectualism, and the myriad ideas and uses of language."
