Customer Reviews

EXCELLENT book for your toddler!

I highly recommend books by Lucy Cousins - especially this one. The illustrations are bright and vivid and catch a baby/toddler's eye. My son Zachary's room is in the Noah's Ark theme, so I collect all things Noah, but this book has always been a favorite.

very entertaining

We have had this book since my son was 6 months old and he really likes all the pictures of the animals-- and I think it is helping him learn to count (even if it is only 1,2). We would recommend this book to anyone who wants their child to know about Noah's Ark.

100% Classic

How could anyone deny the charms of Lucy Cousins' adaptation of this bible tale? The writing is poetically compressed and the illustrations are riots of folk-art color and movement. My three children have all loved it from a very early age and it is an absolute pleasure to read it to them.

My Baby Loves It!

This book is my 4 month old daughter's favorite!!!. . . and she has read a lot of books, including "developmental" books. She loves the colors. I agree with another reviewer that the text about "wicked people" sounds extreme but she is too young to understand and it is biblically correct.

Our son's favorite book!!

Our son (11 months) has enjoyed this book from the first time we read it to him (very very young) and it continues to be his favorite. The bright colors attracted him immediately. The consistency in the drawings have helped him be able to pick out Noah on each page - his favorite being "Hoorah, the flood has ended!"This has, of course led to numerous (or should I say NUMEROUS) readings of this book, but we don't mind. We find it to be theologically sound and we love that it has had a part in opening the world of books to our son.
