The beautifully illustrated BibleTime series takes the lives of bible characters from both the Old and New Testament, retells them in a way that’s easy for children to read and understand, and has some of the best explanations of bible stories that we've seen. This is a very accurate retelling of the story of Jonah, emphasizing the importance of being merciful. Both instructive and entertaining, this story can be read aloud to children ages 2-4 or by beginning readers (ages 4-7) on their own.
