This book is a great adaption to the classic Noah's Ark story. The illustrations of the animals are very detailed and vivid. This book would be a great way to introduce children to the tale of Noah's Ark in a fun, colorful way. The borders would also be very helpful to teach children sequencing. You might even find it a useful and fun way to teach kids the names of different animals. (

Jefferson Library Lakeshore:
Love this book, love Jan Brett. Noah's grandson narrates his view of the ark and all the animals. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399240284, Hardcover)

Jan Brett's intricate illustrations against a beautiful papyrus background make a stunning picture book of a favorite story-this time featuring Noah's granddaughter. As the floodwaters rise, she helps take the animals onto the ark and get them settled down. But it's not easy when giraffes are sleeping next to pandas and lions are curled up with turkeys. Finally the gentle rocking of the ark lulls them all to sleep until the waters recede and Grandpa Noah, his family, and all the animals leave the ark. This simple telling, combined with extraordinary illustrations of every animal imaginable, makes On Noah's Ark perfect for young and old.
