Book Review:
Okay, so I'm always a little hesitant with children's stories that are religious. Are they going to teach what I believe, are the from the version of the Bible that I read, are they correct, are they too preachy, etc. However, the only thing I can say about Goodnight, Ark is that it is super cute! I love rhyming stories, and the pictures are adorable. While Goodnight, Ark is fictional (Noah is the main character, but it's not the story of Noah...if that makes sense) it's a great bedtime story.
All my kids really like this book, and I love that it is a board book so my 2 year old won't destroy it as fast as a paperback book. My four year olds favorite part of the book was with the skunks, and I'll admit that made me giggle too. I even read it to my four year old's friend and asked what she thought about it. She had a smile on her face the whole time and told me it was, "Good!" Can't argue with that I guess :)
