Carol G. reviewed Great adventure story! on 6/14/2009 + 69 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

Just finished reading it myself -- loved it but disagree with some comments.

Given that it is a story of the Noah building the ark in the face of critics and in response toi God telling him to do it, how could you tell the story without mentioning Christianity?

It is a wonderful adventure story that looks at an familiar event (at least to most of us) from a different perspective -- how did Noah get all the animals on board? Did he go after them? Maybe, but not in this story -- God called to 2 of every kind from all over the earth and they journeyed to Noah and arrived just in time.

I hadn't thought about it before, but how did the animals from different climiates survive being on the ark, let alone the journey?

I'm a children's librarian and can't wait to both use this as a read-aloud and to recommend to my older students.
