Title: The first winner of the Caldecott
Product review: Animals of the Bible is noteworthy as the first Caldecott winner for outstanding children's book illustration, but it is much more than a note in the history of children's literature. The beautiful pen-and-ink illustrations show why it won, but for Christian parents and grandparents, the text is just as memorable. Passages of Scripture relate to the animals (not just Noah, but Elijah's ravens and Jonah's large marine creature (whale or fish is debatable) are rendered exquisitely. I bought this book for my 5-year-old granddaughter and her artist mother has enjoyed it as well. Strongly recommend.Nancy Cook Smith, Ph.D.Harvard University
