The Lowe family gave this book to Jack for Easter.
Jack handed this book to me to read while he "read" another book — one of his favorite things to do nowadays is read books at the same time together. Of course, he still likes me to read aloud while we co-read, so I read this book out loud, and he checked in on the story. He seemed to like the picture of the whale.
I haven't read the Old Testament book yet, but I'm told this story is true to the essence of it. I wish there were more pages and illustrations with less text on each, as the font is kind of small and the story seems to deserve more space.
