Too Tired

As if Noah didn't have enough on his mind: the Ark's about to embark. But where are those sloths - snoring away, can't be bothered to join the contingent of 2 x 2. Suspensful, larky, and one of this yea's most winsome offerings.

I am not religious, but I am crazy about sloths! I loved that all the animals banded together (except the cats, of course) to help get the apathetic sloths on Noah's Ark. This would be a great read to a young Sunday school class.

Noah is checking off his animals on the ark. He realizes the sloths are missing and the ark turns around for the sloths. They are too tired and are sleeping, until the water reaches high to them. All the animals reach out and causes the ark to tip over. The sloths hop onto to the ark, and sleep right away.
I am not very religious, but I think this book would be perfect for teaching the story of Noah's Ark. This could be seen in a parochial school. I thought it was sweet how all the animals united to get the sloths on to the ark. If a teacher wants to teach children about unity and friendship, this book would be perfect!

I thought that this was a cute book and it explained the story of Noah's Ark. It could be nice to read to preferably a catholic school while learning the story of Noah. The students would enjoy the book because it allows for the teacher to make sounds of the different animal noises.

Too tired is a made up story of Noah's ark. As the flood is coming and all the animals are boarding Noah realizes they are missing the sloths. The sloths being unaware and lazy are too tired and asleep in the tree. Eventually all the animals aboard the ark (minus the cats) helps retrieve the sloths and complete Noah's list.
Like many stories containing animals the author takes the opportunity to introduce many new adjectives, verbs, and vocab to students. In this particular book many words such as screeched, bleated, trumpeted, and howled are introduced to the student's vocabulary. This also makes students use context clues and prior knowledge to understand new words.
