Title: An animated Jonah
Product review: This is a half-hour, animated video of the biblical book of Jonah. Unlike some other videos in this series, this one is regular 2-D animation, not claymation. It's well written and suitable for both kids and adults. Jonah is portrayed as a total curmudgeon, which is entertaining and in keeping with the biblical text. I use a lot of videos in teaching the Hebrew Scriptures to juniors at a Catholic prep school, and this one works well for that purpose.You can also get "Jonah" ina set of four, along with "Creation and the Flood" (which is OK), "Abraham" (another good one), and "Elijah" (peculiar: a cartoon with Mendelssohn's "Elijah" oratorio as the score). I also recommend "Ruth."
