The Best Noah's Ark Book I Have Found!

Posted in Book Reviews

I was trying to put the link photo here, but I failed.  Here is the site.

I am trying to include a link and or a link photo for you to look at for this book!  I first saw this in some magazine/catalog and I really wanted to buy it.   Tonight my dh and I went to the big city and visited the Christian bookstore.  After purchasing the third Elsie Dinsmore book, I continued to look for another book that would benefit our family.  I spent at least 30 minutes looking for something and was about to settle for just the Elsie book.  I decide to go back through the first shelf again, and guess what I find, this Noah's Ark book that I wanted!  

I was thrilled with the book.  What do I love about it?

1)  It starts with Adam and Eve!  Imagaine that!  I like when events are put in context! 

2)The illustrations are realistic looking almost like a photo! 

3) I love the fact that an elephant like animal is shown being trained to help carry the wood.  (I have been so brain washed to think that early man was so primitive, and early animals were so wild, that it didn't ever occur to me that Noah  or his sons certainly could have trained the animals (as we do today) to help them!)  4) It shows scaffolds being used to reach the upper part of the boat which also leads to a more realistic looking picture than this boat just suddenly being built over night!

5)  The true dimensions are shown so that we really see how large this floating box was! 

6) Another fact I love is that dinosaurs are mentioned and drawn in the pictures. 

 

I hope I have shown you how this book is so realistic and so different  from nearly every other Noah's Ark book I have ever seen!  My nursery for Hannah and Sarah was the rainbow theme so we received many books and Noah decorations as gifts.  I can think of 5 books on our shelf right now, and none of them have an accurate portrayal of this momentous event in history!  I  am thrilled to now own this book.  I am sure that the girls and I will spend quite a while tomorrow  and many days after looking at this book!  If you have also wanted a more realistic Noah's Ark book I highly recommend this one!  Mine came with a CD too!  I have not listened yet!  I hope this helps someone!

 

In Him,

I have been wanting that book for a long time too! i think it is awesome!

We are studying Noah's Ark next week, I wish our library had it!

Jubal and Tubal-Cain were the 1st musician and first bronze maker. they are mentioned in chapter 4 of Genesis, and the history book we are using pointed out that it is evidence that early man was not primitive like the "caveman" concept you get in secular history. cool, huh?

I'll have to find that book. I would love one that shows dinosaurs! We are huge fans of the Answers in Genesis series, and none of our books actually show dinosaurs, so that would be a great blessing for the girls to see. I've got to get this desk organized, I hope your worship goes smoothly tomorrow (no special shows!). How is the "staking" going?

We have this book! It was one of our gifts to the children for Christmas last year! Isn't it absolutely wonderful!? I totally forgot we had the cd to it! I am going to pull that out tomorrow for the children to listen to during their quiet time.
Your blog is beautiful by the way!

I seek to glorify God and enjoy Him forever! I seek to be a loving, godly wife. I also seek to win the hearts of my children to God. I am thankful for homeschooling and I pray that is never taken away in America!
