Book Cover & Preview Text
Noah and his family worked on the boat for many years. Just when they thought they could rest, strange sounds began coming toward the ark. Loud roars, squeaky squeals and noisy grunts moved closer and closer. Noah and his family saw hundreds of animals coming over the hills. The ground trembled and shook as the animals headed right toward them! Some walked, others hopped, some crawled, and many flew.
There came beetles, beavers and bears,
Hogs, horses and hares,
Flies, frogs and foxes,
Otters, opossums and oxen.
Lizards, leopards and lions,
Big and little birds flying,
Elephants, elk and eagles,
Bulls, zebras and beagles.
And then came . . .
Moose, mice and monkeys,
Dogs, deer and donkeys,
Antelopes, ants and apes,
Chimpanzees carrying grapes.
Buffalos, bees and bats,
Crocodiles, cranes and cats,
Tigers, turtles and toads,
Kangaroos, camels and crows.
And still more came . . .
