AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK

I have seen probably a hundred books on Noah and the Ark, many of them very good. But this is my favorite. Gantschevis one of my all-time favorite children's books illustrators,and Clements, who usually writes for the somewhat older crowd(8-12) has written at least one other wonderful picture bookcalled "Big Al & Shrimpy." The story starts out in the present, with a colt complaining about the downpour he has to endure. So his mother tells himabout the Bible story of the flood. But it isn't just aboutthe flood, it is also the "why" of the flood and later thepromise of the rainbow. And it ends in the present also, as the rain ends and the colt goes out to play, with a new appreciation for the gifts of God.If you are interested in giving your child the Biblical story,as opposed to just another picture book about Noah with allthose wonderful animals, in a lovely lilting language, then this is the book to use.
