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.

This is a stunning, beautiful book. Its illustrations are gorgeous and it's a great depiction of the Biblical stories from the Old and New Testament. Even if you don't read the Bible, it's still a stunning book to look at and it has gorgeous drawings. This book is ideal for any art lover, illustrator, child and person who can appreciate illustrations from many years ago. I highly recommend this book, it's fantastic!

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

Every year I tell my students about the Caldecott Award, an annual award given to the illustrator of the best picture book. This was the first Caldecott Award winner in 1923. Then I show them other winners and they get to see the different types of illustrations and learn about those winning illustrators. The stories in this book are from the Bible, but the black and white pictures are beautifully done by Dorothy Lathrop.

This is a scripturally sound book with black and white drawings and I found it most interesting for my grandson.
