Noah hollers,
“All aboard!”
It’s bedtime on Noah’s ark, but the animals can’t sleep
because of the storm. Two by two, they crowd into Noah’s bed, creating a sticky
situation. Will Noah ever get them back to their own beds? Climb aboard the ark
for this rollicking, yet ultimately restful bedtime story as Noah finds a way
to make things calm and cozy, even in the midst of a storm.
GOODNIGHT, ARK
is an adorable children’s book for 4 – 8 year olds. My daughter loved it and
wanted me to read it to her (even though she can read it alone) for snuggle
time. Biblically, the story is not accurate. I’m sure Noah didn’t let the
animals call into bed with him as the skies opened. I’m not sure if animals had
free-range on the ark or not, I wasn’t there, but that doesn’t seem quite
right. The illustrations are beautifully done, and other than being inaccurate
about the story, I have no qualms with the writing. It was cute. For biblical
inaccuracy, I’m not giving it five stars, but four for a good bedtime story. 32
pages. $15.99 hardcover. $9.99 Kindle.
