This delightful story comes from the bestselling author of the Hairy Maclary and Friends series, offering readers a charming glimpse into what happens when Noah's Ark is simply too full to board any more animals.

Noah's Ark is bursting at the seams, and there's still an enormous queue of diverse and eager animals waiting to board. Faced with this dilemma, Noah turns to his trusted friend, Sam Jam Balu, for help. With a kind plea, Noah asks Sam to take charge of a second ark. But can Sam handle the playful pandemonium that awaits him?

As Sam Jam Balu bravely accepts Noah's mission, he encounters a quirky and comical array of creatures. From hip-hopping hippos and burrowing flumps to candy-striped camels with endearing and funny humps, each page teems with vibrant illustrations and engaging rhymes that are sure to entertain and delight young readers.

Lynley Dodd's signature rhyming text and whimsical illustrations bring this delightful story to life, making The Other Ark a perfect read-aloud book. The tale combines humour, adventure, and a touch of the unexpected, ensuring that it will become a beloved favourite in any child's collection.

Whether you're familiar with the beloved Hairy Maclary series or new to Lynley Dodd's enchanting world, The Other Ark delivers a heartwarming message about friendship, helping others, and navigating through the unexpected challenges in life. This book is an absolute must-have for storytime, promising laughter and joy with every turn of the page.

About the Author

Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'
