5.0 out of 5 stars
A sweet rendition of Noah's ark, December 29, 2006
This review is from: Noah's Ark : Little Bible Playbooks (Board book)
This is a wonderful retelling of a classic Bible story by Sally Lloyd-Jones. The author uses simple, every-day language, and retains several of the key elements of the tale, such as forty days of rain and sending out a dove. The book closes with these two lovely sentences: "Come out," God said, "and see the rainbow! It's a promise of my love for you."
The illustrations by Trace Moroney are nice. Noah's wife is not included in either the text or the illustrations. Another fun book, Old Noah's Elephants, compensates and makes a good companion volume to this one.
