Book Review
A well-known Biblical story written with rhyme and rhythm is sure to delight a young child. My 4 and 6-year-old grandsons listened quite easily to the story line being read to them and followed along, pointing to all the animals. Very engaging for children to see so many different types of animals enter the ark, live on the boat and then exit to safety with a beautiful rainbow of God's promise at the end. I thought the change of color in the text, from black to white was clever and easy on the eyes but as an adult, the blurry illustrated images are a bit disappointing for me but not for the children. This is a great addition to the home and church library.
4/5 stars. Recommend.
