The Boat of Many Rooms
J. Patrick Lewis, illus. by Reg Cartwright (Atheneum)
Master p t Lewis (Earth Verses and Water Rhymes) offers a fanciful and sometimes rollicking look at the story of Noah and the Ark. Lewis uses a variety of rhyme schemes and stanzas to convey the bustling activity of loading the ark, the monotony of the long days at sea and the excitement of sighting dry land. Cartwright's oils depict Noah and the beasts as one big happy family. Ages 6-10.
Sing a New Song
Bijou Le Tord (Eerdmans)
In her picture book for very young children, Le Tord combines p try and delicate watercolors as she presents portions of the Psalms. Each of Le Tord's verses is accompanied by the number of the Psalm that inspired her verse. Ages 3-6.

A Prayer for the Earth: The Story of Naamah, Noah's Wife
Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, illus. by Bethanne Andersen (Jewish Lights)

Naamah plants seeds from every land plant in a garden on the ark and tends them faithfully during the ark's long journey in order to replant them in the cleansed earth. Andersen's oil strokes paint a vivid scene of blossoming flora and rebirth. Ages 4-8.
