Hey God, I've Got Some Guy Named Jonah in my Stomach and I Think I'm Gonna Throw Up {Review and Giveaway!}

To be honest, I wasn't sure what to think about this book, Hey God, I've Got Some Guy Named Jonah in my Stomach and I Think I'm Gonna Throw Up, when I first received it.  It seemed a little...I don't know...cheesy?  But after reading it, it turns out to be a cute kids story.  The kids enjoyed reading it with me too.  They thought it was funny and loved the bright, colorful illustrations.  It has some great lessons about trusting and obeying God, even when we don't want to.  In the back there is a "Parent Connection" page that adds scriptures and questions to really help your kids understand and apply this to their lives.

From the publisher:

Oh sure, we'll 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 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. There's even a free online app to make this bright retelling even more animated and interactive.
