Book Review: The Story of Noah's Ark, Storybook and Wall Clings by Lori C. Froeb, Illus, by Luana Rinaldo

 

Today we have a great book that really gets kids involved in a bible story they all love!

Synopsis:  The story of Noah and his ark is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible. With this deluxe set, kids can use the wall clings to recreate the awesome scene of all the animals boarding the ark. As they read about Noah and his adventure, children can stick the vinyl clings on any painted wall to retell the story. The clings peel right off, so kids can rearrange them however they choose--over and over again.

Review: Kiddo LOVED this book! When I showed it to her, she could hardly wait to read it and get the animals off the page! It is a story that she has learned repeatedly at school (anyone for a round of "Noah built the ark, ark, ark" ? Trust me, I know ALL the lyrics by heart now! LOL), and her interest in it is pretty high. She had a blast pulling the animals and characters off the cling page, as we came to them and making a storyboard out of her headboard! It was a really unique way to reinforce the story. In fact as you can see by the second pix, below, she is "re-reading" the story to me, she was VERY serious and very cute!

Kiddo didn't want to put the clings on the wall, she wanted them on the headboard where she could sit and play easier (plaster walls don't always let clings pull off easily). The illustrations in the book match the clings exactly, and are very adorable! The story is simplified for young children, yet still gets the meaning across well. I will definitely put this on my list for Christmas and baptism presents! Check it out and you will too!
