Aardvarks, Disembark! by Ann JonasPublished by Greenwillow Books in 1990
Listed in Horn Book Fanfare
Summary: After the flood, Noah commands the animals to disembark, from A-Z. After the usual animals disembark (Aardvarks to Zebras), he realizes there are many animals left and he doesn't know what to call them. So he tells them to leave and then walks down beside them to learn the names of these unique creatures. The observant reader will notice that as Noah walks along the line of animals, the light changes from day, to night, and back to day. Quite a hike down the mountain!
Ideas for use in library:
Alphabet book; animal research projects. Not great for read aloud since is just an illustrated list of animal names;
Curriculum connections:
Science: research the unique animals featured
Special features:
Annotations describe each unique animal; pronunciation key when necessary.
