"The book is a triumph, the definitive Noah's Ark."—Publishers Weekly

Winner of the Caldecott Medal, an ALA Notable Children's Book, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, Peter Spier's Noah's Ark has been the iconic edition of this tale for over 40 years, in print continuously since its debut in 1977.

In Spier's imaginative retelling, readers witness the danger and the grandeur of the terrifying flood but also the lighter moments: Noah's wife jumping on a crate to avoid the rats; Noah shooing all but two bees from a busy hive; and all the animal babies being born in the spring. It's an illustration feat that's both majestic and tender.

A fun, adorable introduction to Noah’s Ark
This is such a fun book full of pictures you can stare at forever. This is a mostly wordless book that shows Noah building the ark all the way through planting a vineyard after getting off of the ark. A great introduction for little ones, but even older children will enjoy looking at the pictures. All of my children have loved this book.

This is such a great book! No words so kids can look through it themselves and understand the story, but it is also fun for a parent to go through with their child themselves to add context. Lot's of great detail in the pictures. Very well done

We've heard the story of Noah's Ark a thousand times. This book tells the story with (almost) no words, but with beautiful pictures. Perfect for very young children but also older ones who can appreciate the detail. The illustrator is very gifted in telling a story purely from pictures. This was a repeat purchase. A great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Artwork!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book is meant for kids, but I think I like it more than my almost-3-year old. The artwork in this book is so thoughtfully created and it really brings the story to life! It shows the reality of what Noah and his family really endured in preparing for the flood, living through the flood inside the ark with thousands of animals, and what all that must have looked like! We see all these beautiful, crisp, clean artistic drawings and paintings of noah's ark--so peaceful and every little thing perfect. Well, if you have to care for all those animals for several months inside a big boat, I doubt everything would "feel" perfect and beautiful. Yes, Noah was very devoted to God and following His instructions, but that doesn't mean it was easy. That's like our lives--we follow God's will for our lives, but that doesn't mean everything will always be perfect or without struggles. This book seems to depict the reality of the flood in the best illustration form I have every seen. You will not regret adding this book to your home library! It is beautifuly executed artwork and even includes some humor!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Book with Wide Appeal
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2008
Verified Purchase
The happy and humorous tone of this book will make it appealing to any child, whatever the family's religion.

The only text is at the beginning and it is a charming translation of a poem that summarizes the story of Noah. The poem is delightful in and of itself- Spier did a great job of translating.

The illustrations are then left without text, which is very refreshing, since there are so few picture books nowadays. I enjoy leisurely paging through this book with my young daughter, talking about the pictures in and of themselves, as pieces of art and as pictures that tell a story. I feel that the pressure is off in terms of trying to finish a sentence or a story when there is no text there.

In addition, this book is appropriate for Muslim families as well, since the illustrations (and beginning poem) are sufficiently vague as to accommodate for the small differences in the telling of the story in the Qu'ran and the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable book with few words.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018
Verified Purchase
What an adorable book! You have to know some of the of the details of the story of Noah and the Ark since this book has few, very few, words. So it's great for little children who do not read yet. The illustrations are detailed but not formal with just a touch of humor (when Noah releases the animals he ends up releasing a ton of rabbits!). You even see Noah cleaning up after the animals. Wonderful book to "read" to a child without actually reading words.

No wonder it has won awards. Obviously, this is more pictures than words (very Raymond Briggs) but it offers lots of talking points for children. Might be a stretch for my 3 year old but she’ll enjoy the pictures nonetheless. The illustrations are stunning and I appreciated the inclusion of the verse at the beginning.
