I enjoyed the idea of the poem and the illustrations but felt like the book ended abruptly.

I thought that this was a cute book. The illustrations were wonderful. My kids also thought that this book was good. I would recommend this book to others.

You would think that any book about Noah's Ark would be a good one to read. While I'm not saying this is a terrible book, I am saying that there was enough that was wrong, slightly different, or misleading that we did not finish reading it. So this book would have to fall into my "Not To Read" category.

The pictures are gorgeous, but the type of rhyming pattern used in this book does not appeal to me.

Beautiful illustrations. Accurate storyline. Fun to read aloud. This Noah's Ark book is the best I've seen.
