NoahÃ¢ÂÂs ark and the worldwide flood of Genesis are amongst the Bible events most often retold in childrenÃ¢ÂÂs picture books. Despite the fact that you likely have a copy of one (or more) NoahÃ¢ÂÂs ark picture books/board books etc. on your bookshelves, if you hold to a literal, young earth understanding of the book of Genesis this is one rendering of the historical event that youÃ¢ÂÂll want to purchase.

Recounted in an in-depth, factual manner, author Tom Dooley presents the pre-flood world as it is sketched for us in the Bible, and realistically examines the design, dimensions, and logistics of life aboard the ark. As such, the books strength lies not in itÃ¢ÂÂs narrative re-telling (which is a bit dry) but simply in the fact that Dooley takes the flood seriously and treats it as history.

The True Story of NoahÃ¢ÂÂs Ark reads a bit more like a well-illustrated middle-school textbook than it does a storybook. Because of the reading style, we normally need to read through this book in two or three sittings. There is a lot of text, and my children can zone out after awhile.

Illustrator Bill Looney uses computer-illustration for the copious numbers of detailed pictures included in the book. While computer-illustration is never my favorite style, Looney manages to approximate traditional, realistic, detailed artwork with that medium than any other childrenÃ¢ÂÂs illustrator IÃ¢ÂÂve seen.

This lovely hardcover also comes with a CD complete with a reading of the bookÃ¢ÂÂs text with background music and sound effects. If only there were indicators of when to turn the page, then pre-readers could have the book read to them by the author on CD.

What really sets this book apart is the strong emphasis on the historical reality of Noah and the flood. Dinosaurs are shown boarding and on board the ship (something rarely found in traditional books about Noah) and the sheer scope and scale of the area available for transporting animals is clearly on display. Our family really appreciates the visuals provided at the back of the book that compare the real ark dimensions with the boats normally shown in childrenÃ¢ÂÂs literature. We also appreciate the connection between Jesus being our ark of salvation and the Old Testament ark that God provided for the salvation of His people.

IÃ¢ÂÂm passionate about teaching children Bible events as history, and am always quick to assure my four-year-old when she asks, Ã¢ÂÂWas Noah real?Ã¢ÂÂ that yes, indeed, he was! If you only have room in your library for one picture book about Noah, and presenting the events that took place in his life as historical fact is important to you, take a good look at this title, I think youÃ¢ÂÂll be well pleased.

Excellent book in every way. Well-researched & written, and envisioned & illustrated. Hopefully more works forthcoming from this team! One further observation: so many who paint a scene in Eden's garden presume that Adam somehow made regular use of his Gillette; I don't think so. The Great Designer has a purpose in gifting men with facial hair; eliminating evidence of it removes any desire to discover its purpose. Several books have been done on this subject, but this is easily the best we've found, and it's for both children and adults.
