Book Review - In the Big Inning

In the Big Inning
Bible Riddles from the Back Pew

written by Mike Thaler
illustrated by Jared Lee


Do you know a child who likes jokes? If so, this is the book for them! Full of riddles with a Bible theme, each riddle is colorfully illustrated and designed to tickle young funny bones. My favorite: "How do you know they rode motorcycles in the Bible?" Answer: "Because the Bible tells us that Joshua's Trimuph was 'heard throughout the land.'" There's a Triumph in my husband's garage, and now I'll chuckle every time I look at it.
