About the Book:
Oh sure, we've all heard the story of Jonah and the Whale a hundred times. But have we heard it from the perspective of the whale who experienced that history-making event?

Hey God, I've Got Some Guy Named Jonah in My Stomach and I Think I'm Gonna Throw Up! imagines how that great sea creature from the incident might tell his side of the story, helping kids ages 4 to 8 discover a creative way of learning about that guy who was supposed to go to Ninevah.
The "Parent Connection" feature (inside the book) will help moms and dads take the story further with scripture references and tips on how to talk with their children about what really happened.

Our Thoughts:
I shared this book with my 4 and 11 year old daughters. The recommended age range is 4 to 8, but my 11 year old daughter was happy to join in on the fun with her little sister. Of course the book was geared more towards my 4 year old, however both girls enjoyed the story... as did I.
The book has delightful illustrations, witty humor, and tells an age-old story with a new twist... from the whale's point-of-view.
The book stays true to the original event and reinforces the moral of the story - when God speaks, we should listen and act upon it. This cute "whale of a tale" reminds us that God only asks us to trust Him. Whatever He asks us to do, He asks that we trust Him.
