Editorial Reviews

Review

"I especially enjoyed this book's illustrations, which add to the fun of the story. One might think every possible variation of the Noah story has already been told, but this version is enjoyable and more. By focusing on the animals, it illustrates important values such as a shared responsibility and the interdependence of all who inhabit the planet. If your shelf has room for one more Noah story, be sure this is it." (Rabbi Louis A. Rieser Church and Synagogue Library Association )

This review is from: All Safe On Board (Hardcover)

In the new picture book All Safe on Board (Candle Books, May 2004) author Mig Holder retells the age old story of the building of Noah's Ark, emphasizing the assistance of Noah's many animal friends in getting the job done on time.

This 32 page hardcover book, engagingly illustrated by animal artist Steve Smallman, highlights the days leading up to the great flood. Goat, Hippo, Elephant and even little Dormouse get in on the act, working behind the scenes to help Noah and his family with the huge amount of work to be done.

The book is intended for readers ages five through seven, but teachers, Moms and Dads will find plenty to chuckle about when sharing this story with kids of all ages. The book even features two special "flip out" pages with riotous illustrations of the whole crew.
