KID STUFF

    Tales from the Ark
    Author - Auril Rowlands
    Publisher - Lion Publishing
    $   N/A

    This book presents the familiar story of Noah's ark from the perspective of the animals and Noah as it looks at what it might have been like on the ark.  Each chapter tells the story from a different perspective - Noah, the Lion, sheep, termite, skunk, donkey, son, pig, spider, monkey, elephant, dove and the dormice all tell what it MIGHT have been like.
 

    Favorite Features

  • each chapter is short - just the right length for a parent to read on chapter every evening
  • line drawings by Rosslyn Moran throughout the book are delightful and well done
  • helps children learn what it means to work together and help each other and what can happen
  • if we want our own way
 
 This book is nicely written and I would recommend it for young readers to read on their own and for families to read together.  I do believe it is important for parents to talk with their kids about how while Noah is a real Bible person and God really did have Noah build the ark and care for the animals - the rest of the book is pretend.  Nicely done Auril, Rosslyn  & Lion.
