A handsome oversized board book edition of Jan Brett’s New York Times bestselling story of Noah and the flood, full of her signature animals.

Description

Jan Brett's intricate illustrations make a stunning picture book of a favourite story—this time featuring Noah's granddaughter.

As the floodwaters rise, she helps take the animals onto the ark and get them settled down. But it's not easy when giraffes are sleeping next to pandas, and lions are curled up with turkeys. Finally, the gentle rocking of the ark lulls them all to sleep until the waters recede and Grandpa Noah, his family, and all the animals leave the ark.

This simple telling, combined with extraordinary illustrations of every animal imaginable, makes On Noah's Ark perfect for young and old.
