How is a little boy to sleep in a huge Ark that rocks as the flood water rises? Rolling thunder and crashing lightning force Eber to snuggle down into his grandparents' bed. The trouble is, he's not the only one poor Nora and Noah have to put up with that night.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–With the ark finished and the animals loaded, Grandpa Noah and Grandma Nora are ready for a good night's rest. However, Noah promises his young grandson that he can join them in bed if the storm frightens him. Lightning and thunder wake some animals as well as Eber, who creeps through the dark to his grandparents' room. Before long, Noah and Nora are wondering why the boy's toenails are so scratchy and his hair so tickly. Children will recognize the claws, feathers, and other parts of the creatures that sneak under the quilts and disturb the adults' rest. When Noah finally lights the lamp, he finds Eber sleeping peacefully in their bed along with numerous animals. The colorful cartoon illustrations reinforce the story's light tone and are large enough for group sharing. Pair this variation of the story with Jan Brett's On Noah's Ark (Putnam, 2003), another tale about a grandchild's involvement with the ark.–Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato
