Beautifully and imaginatively illustrated with sculpted plasticine! The text is simple and in rhyme, and set to a simple tune at the back of the book; the real richness of this book is in the delightful detail of the pictures. Lots to look at, from peacocks to beavers. Our favourite is the picture of the inside of the ark. I also like that Mrs Noah (Naamah, not named in this story) here takes her rarely-told role from ancient Jewish tradition, of gathering plants and seeds for the Ark.

Using simple poetry, large print, and photographed Plasticine figures, the story tells of Noah, his family, and the animals during the 40 days and nights of rain. At the end of the book is a delightful song about Noah for the children to learn.

A great book to help educate children about the story of the Great Flood. This is a book to be read in a religion class as it focuses on many religious elements. It can also help reinforce children’s understanding about rhyming words and counting as both concepts are present in this book. ( )

A Noah's Ark story, but the animals are the stars of this picture book. Wonderful detailed illustrations made from plasticine, by Barbara Reid. Fun for children to spot and name all the creatures that come in, two by two. ( )
