Author Mike Thaler and illustrator Jared Lee have teamed up once again to create a book that presents a humorous twist on Biblical ideas. This time around, the duo has put together In the Big Inning: Bible Riddles from the Back Pew, a book filled with Bible-related riddles.
For example, the title of the book comes from this riddle:
Q: How do you know God is a baseball fan?
A: Because he starts off the Bible, “In the big inning.”
Another one:
Q: What is God’s favorite food?
A: Praisens
And so it goes. The illustrations are similar to that of the other books by this pair as the ones in this book are again done in a bright, expressive cartoon style.
This Bible verse is given as a reference for the book: “I will now put forth a riddle unto you.” [Judges 14:12]
What I Like: This is a great book of Bible-related riddles. Some I had heard before; some were new. All are good.
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Very good.
Age Appeal: Ages 4-8 are given as the suggested age group for this book, but I think the age range is more like 5-12.
Publisher Info: Zonderkidz, 2010; ISBN: 9780310715979; Paperback, $4.99.
