Animals of the Bible Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dorothy Lathrop's Animals of the Bible won the very first Caldecott Medal when it was originally published in 1937. Now, in honor of the sixtieth anniversary of this prestigious medal and its first recipient, comes this special deluxe edition of Lathrop's award-winning collection of some of the Bible's most extraordinary animals. Thirty richly detailed black-and-white drawings illustrate the favorite stories of the Creation, Noah's Ark, the first Christmas, and many others. A glorious tribute to a great tradition in children's literature, this special anniversary edition will be a keepsake to treasure for years to come.

Synopsis:

An introduction for children to some of the most beautiful and appealing Bible stories, this picture book of thirty superb black-and-white drawings by Dorothy Lathrop presents the most memorable animals of the Old and New Testaments.
