Come Aboard Noah's Ark

Julie Downing has done a wonderful job with the illustration of Noah's Ark. I also have the feeling she likes cats as there are cats on the front and back covers and one chasing butterflies in the ark. This story is a very condensed version. God speaks to Noah and asks him to build an ark, on the next page it is built and the animals head towards the ark, two by two. Noah thanks God for saving him from the flood and soon life on the ocean becomes very dull and the winds and rain stop. A rainbow appears and all the animals head for dry land. A prayer to share with your child is also included on the last part of the story to help children remember that a rainbow means God will never send a flood over the entire earth again.
