Noah's Ark



Pinkney, Jerry. 2002. Noah’s Ark. Seastar Books. New York, NY. ISBN 1587172011

The religious story of Noah’s Ark is beautifully painted with watercolors and detailed with pencil and pen lines. The illustrations are detailed and authentic. The Bible verses are quoted from the beginning endpapers to the very last set of end papers so that the story keeps its distinctive language and authentic representation. The continual pattern of the story as the boat continues to be built is echoed through the pictures which become increasingly busy and full of life. This traditional tale is a wonderful read aloud that will visually appeal to readers of all ages.
