Summary:

Almost wordless, this book illustrates the details of Noah's quest to build, populate, and sail the ark.

Use in Classroom/Library:

Very detailed illustrations could be projected so that all can look for the details. I especially liked the pictures illustrating parts of the story I hadn't considered: the animals who weren't on board standing by while the rains start; the animal reproduction on board; POOP.

Curriculum Connections:

Can accompany lower grade religion lesson
