Hey God, I’ve Got Some Guy Named Jonah in My Stomach and I Think I’m Gonna Throw Up! {Book Giveaway}

Hey God Jonah Book

Sure, Jonah’s a famous guy. We all know how he ended up in the belly of the fish. We’ve heard his story a hundred times.

But have you ever stopped to consider the story from the whale’s point of view?

In Hey God, I’ve Got Some Guy Named Jonah in My Stomach and I Think I’m Gonna Throw Up! the whale gets to tell his side of the story. And this whale will have you giggling through the story. At least that’s what happens when this book is the bedtime story at our house.

Hey God, I’ve Got Some Guy Named Jonah in My Stomach and I Think I’m Gonna Throw Up! helps kids think about Jonah’s story from a slightly different perspective. It also has a Parent Connection feature inside the book to help parents take the story one step further. There are Scripture references and tips for talking with kids about what really happened.

  4. Hm.. maybe he’d tell God that “that was one whale of a human to swallow”. ^^; he..he.. okay, I’m bad at this ^^;

  5. The whale might tell Jonah, “You know this isn’t picnic for me either”

  8. If I were the whale, and I had just swallowed Jonah, I would probably say something along the lines of “Uh oh, that definitely wasn’t my usual”. Luckily, I’m not the one writing books. :] I can’t wait to ask my kiddo what he thinks the whale would say though. Cute perspective.
