From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-Lanning's straightforward retelling of the Old Testament story includes Jonah's unsuccessful flight from God's command that he preach to the people of Nineveh. A violent storm at sea followed by three days inside a whale convinces him to accept the assignment. The book ends with the people's repentance that averts their impending doom. Unlike Mary Auld's The Story of Jonah (Watts, 1999) and Mordicai Gerstein's Jonah and the Two Great Fish (S & S, 1997; o.p.), Lanning's story does not include Jonah's displeasure at God's mercy or the lesson he learns from the growth and destruction of a sheltering vine. Consequently, this version might satisfy younger listeners wanting just the basic account. Watts's landscapes and seascapes are bright and use available white space well. The people are somewhat goggle-eyed and stiff, and not as interesting as the fish and other animals. If demand warrants another volume about Jonah, this one is worth considering.
