Nora's Ark

by Eileen Spinelli

Nora Hilb (Illustrator)

The weatherman predicted rain. So Nora built an ark. Just like Noah. Well...Not just like Noah. Noah welcomed a host of animals two-by-two. Nora's passenger list includes two backyard spiders, a pair of battery-operated monkeys, and a couple of unimpressed cats. Nora also employs her little brother, some dusty wooden boxes, and a sizeable dose of contagious imagination in her distinctive re-creation of the timeless story. Charming and inventive, Nora's big voyage, and its stirring conclusion, provide entertainment and inspiration for readers of all ages.

I like this book I really do. While it doesn't tell the whole story of Noah, it does give a good starting place for further discussion with your read along child. Nora is full of imagination and what better stories to imagine than directly from the Bible. I enjoy the illustrations and the story of Nora's little ark over and wouldn't hesitate to check for both the author and illustrator's work in the future.

I read an Advance Reader Copy, but would love to have a real one on our shelf.
