(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bernadette Watts. This retelling of the well-known Bible story accurately portrays Jonah's reluctance to do God's will and his change of heart after his rescue from the sea by a whale. Watts's artwork makes noteworthy use of light, emphasizing the contrast between the raging storm and the sunny desert land of Nineveh. The spreads depicting the rocking waves and tumultuous sea are particularly effective.
