Product Description

Product Description
A fabulously fun new twist on Noah's Ark by master storyteller, Lynley Dodd! The rain is fast approaching and Noah wants to set sail. There are still lots of animals queueing to get on to the Ark but it's absolutely jam packed. Noah has to ask his friend, Sam Jam Balu to take the other Ark and all the rest of the animals. So he valiantly starts gathering hip-hopping hippos, mad kangaroosters and flying flapdoodles - not to mention the dithering dingbats and sabre-tooth mice! But it takes Sam Jam Balu so long to cajole all the creatures on board that by the time the Other Ark is ready to go - the flood has passed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful animals invented by a master of fast fun rhyming stories, 20 Nov 2006
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Other Ark (Paperback)
This is a great story with strong rhythm and rhyme and the off-beat vocabulary that you would expect if you have come across Lynley Dodd's striking stories before. Noah's ark is full (of the animals you can find around the world today) so he asks a friend to bring the rest on a rather more dilapidated ark. These animals are not ones you'd be able to track down these days such as Kangaroosters, Butternut bears, Mongolian sneeth and elephant snails, and they are more evocative of Edward Lear than reality. I loved the idea that these were the animals that didn't make it through the flood, so I have to admit to being a little confused to seeing the water subsiding at the end of the story with the animals aboard an ark on dry land. I wonder if I have maybe missed the point along the way so I would rate this as a 4.5 star book rather than the full five. However, I still so much enjoy reading this fun and fast frolic through a bright variety of the animals that it is undeniably a very worthwhile and different addition to any child's bookshelf.
