Alice had a long career of many artistic endeavors. She wrote and edited greeting cards for many years at Gibson Greeting Cards; she also wrote freelance cards for many publishers. She was a prolific artist, working mainly in acrylics, holding showings at the Jewish Community Center in Roselawn. Alice also wrote and performed in plays for their senior program. When her husband opened an art gallery near Sharonville, she filled the walls with works of art, from larger landscapes and flowers to thousands of miniatures. She was also active in television from the very early days of channel 19, where she briefly hosted a late night horror show, and was promotion manager. At channel 9 she wrote for Uncle Al and Captain Windy, also writing commercials and produced a local variety show. In her later years, she was active molding clay into clowns, rabbis, and flowers; and painting on porcelain. Alice also authored many books, from an early children's story to books of poetry, and of course the famed Alice in Bibleland series selling millions of copies worldwide. - Birthplace

I used to read this book to my children when they were little and decided to reread it for the first time in many years. Rereading it again I am reminded of why I chose to read this on so many occasions to my children and why it’s one of the few books I saved from their early childhood. I enjoy this book because of the language and the clearly stated message at the end.
The language in the book flows nicely with its rhyming verses such as, “I also know that when we’re bad, And sorry as show more can be – God has mercy and has pity, And forgives us lovingly.” The author also breaks the story down in simple language that makes it an easy read.
The big message of the book is that God is everywhere, always watching, forgiving, and loving us. show less

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It's sing-song rhyming style made it easy to read. The book tells the tale of Jonah and how God punished him for not obeying God's word. Jonah is tossed overboard of a ship and eaten by a whale. It is not until Jonah repents for his sin that he is spat from the whale's mouth back onto shore. He then goes on to spread God's word and follow his commands as previously asked. This book teaches three religious lesson. One is that God's word should be show more obeyed. The next is that God is everywhere and sees everything. The third is that no matter how bad someone is, God will forgive them if they repent for their sins. show less
Summary: This book describes the Biblical story of Jonah. Jonah was instructed by God to go to some people and preach to them, but he disobeyed God and did not go because he was afraid. God sent a whale to swallow Jonah. He prayed to God in the belly of the whale to save him. The whale spit him out and he went and did what God was instructing him to do.
Personal Reaction: I have always loved this story. I grew up going to church and hearing old testament stories like this. I think that all show more children should have the opportunity to read stories like this one.
Classroom Extensions: 1) I would have the children cut out construction paper and create a whale. When they finished we would vote on which one is the scariest and which one is the cutest. 2) We would talk about how we should obey when we are instructed to do something by someone we love or respect. We would discuss the importance of obeying. show less

The Alice in Bibleland series are a wonderful tool in teaching children Bible stories. They hold true to the Word, even the difficult parts. And at the end of these rhyming stories, Alice tells about what she learned in Bibleland, a very quick, basic explanation of the story, for instance in this one: "There is no power great enough to stop what God has planned. And those who follow in His way, and practice what is right, will know they are protected by His holy, awesome might!"
