Jonah's Trash ... God's Treasure
by Joel Anderson
Illustrators: Joel Anderson and Abe
Goolsby
Published by Tommy Nelson
Incorporated, June 1998
 | Age level: 3_12 |
| This book is the tale of Jonah and the big fish
like you've never heard it before. Mr. Anderson very accurately tells the
story of Jonah in rhyme. |
| This book teaches that "One man's junk is
another man's treasure!" The illustrations in this book are like no
other. Various pieces of trash make up the pictures. There are creative
"Trash and Treasure Hunts" on every page that allow the children
to search for items in the picture. Children will not fall asleep reading
this book, as they will be actively searching the pictures. This book could
be read aloud in class, however it would loose some of its effect if the
children were unable to see the pictures. Therefore, it is better read
individually or to a small group. This book would be great for slow readers,
as there are not very many words on each page. Jonah's Trash ... God's
Treasure is a great book to use in Christian schools, Sunday School classes,
and for at home reading. |
