Plot

An epic tale told in a fresh, new way--from a completely different perspective. Whoever thought a group of cheese-curl-eating Pirates Who Don't Do Anything would pay that much attention? The one time they decided to do something--just once--boy, were they in for a surprise. They actually saw a man get eaten by a fish and live to tell about it!
This hilarious adaptation of the story of Jonah teaches kids about the values of compassion, mercy, and second chances. Filled with bright, colorful illustrations and VeggieTales fun, Jonah & the Pirates Who (Usually) Don't Do Anything is a delight for kids ages 4 to 8.
