520			_aJonah and the Great Fish was written for young readers aged nine years old and above who love adventure and Bible stories that capture their interest and imagination. This adaptation of the biblical account is without distortion of its truth and follows the sequence of events accurately. The author dramatizes the story with a perception of Jonah that is enhanced when his character reveals his anger, his arrogance, his sin, his fear, his remorse and other emotions through his thoughts that are dramatically shared with the reader. The action is intensified with frantic dialogue between Jonah and the captain and the seamen, and then softened with the moving child-like prayer to his God. The illustrations heighten the drama with brilliant color and dynamic art that contributes vividly to the adventure of Jonah, the angry prophet, and the great fish.
