There are many books about Noah’s ark, and quite a few from the per­spec­tive of dif­fer­ent ani­mals, but the imag­ined jour­nal Noah kept gives a new point of view. Noah describes his con­ver­sa­tions with God, build­ing the ark, load­ing food for the ani­mals, and how the oth­er peo­ple made fun of him. Entries Six, Sev­en and Eight detail the rain and flood and life on the ark. Entry Nine, the final one, is about life after Noah and the ani­mals leave the ark. There is a short glos­sary and some inter­est­ing facts at the end of the text. There are sev­er­al clues that this book is writ­ten from a Chris­t­ian per­spec­tive. In the glos­sary, ​“Hebrew” is defined as ​“the name giv­en to God’s cho­sen peo­ple who were also called Israelites.” Nei­ther moniker was used until much lat­er in time. Noah was not Jew­ish. In a pic­ture where Noah and his fam­i­ly are pray­ing, the peo­ple are kneel­ing and have their hands togeth­er. The book empha­sizes God’s love for Noah as opposed to his dis­ap­point­ment with what was wrong with the world. While the col­or­ful i llus­tra­tions are cute and full of ener­gy, the humor and puns (“What does Noah know-ah?”) of the text, as well as the wordi­ness, are for an old­er audi­ence than the illus­tra­tions. This book is an option­al choice at best, for ages 5 – 8.
