Chargement... The Book of Jonahpar Peter Spier
![]() Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() Large format picture book retelling of the story of Jonah. Section at end shows the route of Jonah's voyage, a map of Ninevah, and a detailed drawing of the the boats used back then. End section also describes the modern search for the ancient site of Ninevah and the destruction of the tomb by modern warfare. Any librarian wanting to add to the 200s would do well to consider this re-released version of Peter Spier's 1985 story of Jonah. Detailed pen and ink and watercolor wash illustrations add to a rich text that explains why Jonah ended up in the belly of the whale (God had given him "a job to do that is too hard" so he ran away from God, boarding a ship bound for Ninevah. In punishment God sent a storm that put a the ship and its sailors in grave danger. Upon Jonah's admission, the other sailors cast Jonah out to sea whereupon he ended up in the whale. Back matter gives scholarly details about The World of Jonah's Voyage, which deepens students' knowledge of the era. A great choice for Catholic Schools. If you're gonna read Moby-Dick, read this and Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner first. It's not like it takes super long or anything. (I did not actually read this children's illustrated version...this is just the only book that's only the story of Jonah that I could find. I read the King James version.) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
