A To Z Challenge: BOOK NOOK REVIEWS "G"







Title:  Goodnight, Ark
Author: Laura Sassi
Illustrator:  Jane Chapman
Publisher:  Zonderkidz
Ages: 4-8

Synopsis:

Beds are ready
Food is stored
Noah hollers
"All Aboard!"

Guests rush forward,
Furry, scaled,
Woolly, feathered,
Swishy-tailed.


Why you should read it: 

What a delightful way to introduce young readers to the story of the Ark! Every animal is ready for bed when a storm causes chaos, a little bit of fear, and a surprising twist as everyone rushes to Noah for comfort. Parents will be able to relate as Noah uses a traditional way to lull the animals back to sleep. Children will love the bright illustrations and funny antics of the animals as they scramble under the covers while the storm booms overhead!

Blurb:

Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.

    I'll have to remember this one when my soon-to-be newborn gets old enough! It sounds so cute.

    Good luck with the 2015 A to Z Challenge!

    Maybe not right now but if I ever have grandkids I will read to them as much as I can.
    This looks like a cute one. Thanks!
