Review: Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark, retold and illustrated by Lucy Cousins, 1993. Board book or paperback, ages 2-5.

Lucy Cousins (author of the Maisy series) has such delightful
illustrations in this toddler's retelling of the Biblical story of
Noah. The text is just the right amount for little ones ("Noah was a
good man, who trusted God"), and the colorful illustrations offer
plenty of opportunity for beginning counting and color identification,
too. If you want to be nit-picky, you might complain that Noah's sons
look like children (rather than older sons with wives), but that
detail won't matter to a toddler who asks for the story, "Again,
again!" My two-year old adores this book... I only wish I had picked
it up sooner!
