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.
