On Noah's Ark

The illustrations are great, right up there with the rest of Mrs. Brett’s books. I’m more disturbed by the story, it doesn’t line up with the Bible story at all. It never talk about grandchildren being on the ark, all the animals had their rooms to be in and the whole earth was covered by water 20ft+ higher than the highest peak. The last thing is that nothing was said about the promise God made with Noah and mankind to never flood the earth. I wouldn’t recommend this book because it’s not telling the full truth about the story of Noah.

more on the images of a child (Noah's grandson), and the animals as he sees them- sleeping, awake, crowded, etc. The story is told mostly through the images, with very short narrative of 1-2 sentences per page. This was a nice baptism gift for our niece, who is not extremely religious- as it was a bible story presented in a very friendly non-preachy tone. It would be just as nice for a child who regularly attends church/ Sunday school and is familiar with the story, as they would enjoy the pictures and be able to discuss the meaning and events in more depth with their parents.

The illustrations are beautiful as with all of her books but can't get by the fact that the story was written without the mention of God. Come on, it does come from the bible does it not?

See above. Disappointed, however am a fan of this author/illustrator and have other books she has written and was very happy with them. Her illustrations especially are simply amazing.

Jan Brett offers so much to children around the world. Her stories are wonderfully written, while her illustrations are works of art.On Noah's Ark is written from the perspective of Noah's grandchild. It is a creative way to really help children imagine what it may have been like on the ark with all of those animals.Just like Brett's other more well known books, such as the Mitten, this one also has the great pictures. She is a master at creating a main picture, while hiding details of whats to come around the edges.A definite favorite.[...]

Jan Brett's Artwork is ALWAYS a Feast for the eyes! My Grandaughter Loves this Book. Although it takes a few 'liberties" with The Scriptural Account, it is a springboard to introduction and discussion concerning TRUE HISTORY.

Very cute little board book!

This book is beautifully illustrated, as all of Jan Brett's books are. A nice addition to my children's library.

It's a very simple and easy to read story. The pictures are really amazing. It's not a big book but I can see plenty of details in the pictures. Certainly suggest buying if you would like to read stories about Noah's ark to little kids.

Beautiful illustrations where your child will be happy to discover and name a lot of different animals. A new way to present the story of Noah's Ark which I would recommend to every family with young children !
