Dubuc, Marianne The
Animals’ Ark Kids Can Press, 2016. $16.95
PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
It begins to rain harder and harder until the
animals are all crowded on a little island.
Noah comes with his ark and loads up the animals. At first it is chaotic, but then they each
find their own spot. The animals do all
sorts of things to entertain themselves on the long boat ride. Eventually a bird brings back a sprig and the
ark follows the bird to land. They all
thank Noah for the ride and disembark.
The illustrations in this book are fabulous. I love the sweet animal drawings. The story has more pages than most picture
books even though there is only 1-2 lines per page, but it shows how long the
animals were on the boat. My only complaint was the random cat who was
scratching every animal and feeling “peckish” which wasn’t a vocabulary word
that went with the rest of the book or the age group. This is an adorable telling of Noah’s ark and
the readers will love the illustrations!
