Overview / 简介: |
| As storm clouds gather in the sky above, the animals of Noah's ark offer their own version of the story from the Bible. Beginning with the aardvarks, who hear Noah receiving the news of the coming flood, animals representing each letter of the alphabet bear witness to what they have seen. Together with Rosanne Litzinger's jewellike paintings, John Stewig's reverent and eloquent text makes a unique alphabet book. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 1—A simple account of the story of Noah's ark. The language is easy enough for young children to understand, but remains true to the basics of the Genesis text. Individual letters are not shown by themselves; instead, in alphabetical order from aardvarks to jaguars to zebras, animals tell a part of the tale. "'We,' said the iguanas, 'we saw the Lord close the door of the ark.'" End matter provides information about the creatures and pronunciation guides for unfamiliar names. The appealing illustrations are done in pencil, watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil. The animals show expression without being humanlike, although the text assigns them human responses. The size and scale of the ark vary greatly. In exterior views, a few animals may fill the entire deck; interior scenes, however, are more realistically depicted with large spaces in comparison to the animals housed. Both the humans and the beasts are shown as solid, calm figures, emphasizing the hopeful, reassuring aspects of the story over the frightening premise of the flood.—Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The Animals Watched is an ABC picturebook about the biblical story of Noah's ark - as told from the animals' perspectives! From the aardvarks to the quetzals, warthogs, and zebras, each animal corresponding to a saw a different thing. "'We,' said the yaks, 'we saw the rainbow God set in the sky and heard him say, 'I will never again send a flood to destroy my beautiful world.'" The charming color illustrations by Rosanne Litzinger add the perfect touch to this read-aloud picturebook. |
