Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

"Noah was a righteous man," says Isaac Bashevis Singer, so he and his family were to be saved from the flood. But rumor had it that only the best of all living creatures were to be taken aboard the Ark with Noah. In a fresh and lively approach to the age-old account, Isaac Bashevis Singer sets down the dialogue of the animals as they vie with one another for a place on the Ark.


Ingram

The animals noisily compete for their places on the Ark in this richly illustrated version of the biblical story. "This great storyteller has put a new and mildly moral twist on the story of Noah's Ark, and Eric Carle does not disappoint. His cut-out portraits of the animals are colorful and vigorous."--The Boston Globe. An IRA-CBC Children's Choice. Full-color illustrations throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Why are you silent?" Noah asked the dove., Mar 11 2003
By Amanda (Bay City, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
When the people of the world sinned, and God chose the only righteous man, Noah, to build an ark, all of the animals gathered around. They, however, believed that Noah would only pick best of all the living creatures. The animals began to boast and argue amongst each other. "I am the largest," said the Elephant. "I am man's best friend," replied the dog. They argued and argued.
Noah noticed one lonely bird sitting in a tree. Noah asked the small, white dove why he did not boast. The Dove replied that he believed that everyone has something special, that another doesn't. Though, all are equally created by God.
Noah took all of the animals on the ark, but when he needed a 'messenger' to see if the waters were going down, the one he chose was the dove. The dove is a bird of humility and peace.
I believe that this story is good for those of all ages. It teaches a lesson to all; we are all equally created. People should remain humble.
It is excellently written and has amazing illustrations. I recommend this story to all. It is definitely worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Tale of how the humble Dove became Peace Symbol, Jun 7 2002
By Michael Mathena "Michael Mathena" (Parma Heights, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This simple story teaches a lesson in humility. Although all of the animals in the day of the Great Flood had unique qualities, above all the dove was chosen by Noah to be the messanger of Peace and new life. Demonstrating meekness and humility, the dove did not brag about being "better" than the other animals. Instead she waited her turn, certain that a useful assignment would be found for her.

What a heart warming message for children! The beautiful illustrations add to the magic touch of this enchanting children's book. I would recommend it as a gift for an early reader (up to age 8), or as a story to tell to a smaller child (age 2 to 5).*****

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful story, delightful pictures, May 22 2002
By M. J. Smith (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderful book in which a wide array of animals try to show why they should be allowed on the ark: the elephant argues his strength should save him; the fox, his cleverness; the donkey argues that he is more clever; the skunk, his odor ... Finally, Noah tells them he is to save them all. But the dove who did not brag will be his special messenger.

This is a delightful book that reader and listener will both enjoy.
