Free Nora's Ark Ebooks Online
The weatherman predicted rain.So Nora built an ark.Just like Noah.Well….Not just like Noah. Noah welcomed a host of animals two-by-two. Nora’s passenger list includes two backyard spiders, a pair of battery-operated monkeys, and a couple of unimpressed cats. Nora also employs her little brother, some dusty wooden boxes, and a sizeable dose of contagious imagination in her distinctive re-creation of the timeless story. Charming and inventive, Nora’s big voyage, and its stirring conclusion, provide entertainment and inspiration for readers of all ages.

This is a beautiful story of people helping others through a flood disaster. It captures the deep care that evolves in a community as they help each other get through hard times. I particularly enjoyed that animals were put into the house with people to keep them safe during the flooding. DCB
Nora heard it was going to rain, so, she built an ark. She gathered animals 2 by 2. She uses her imagination and a broken chair, planks, and boxes, to make a great ark. Now all she has to do is wait for the rain!Why I liked this book - Once again Mrs. Spinelli creates a masterpiece! Besides being a wonderful re-telling of Noah's Ark, this book has a great message about using your imagination! Nora uses what ever she can find to use her imagination to build an arc and save the world's animals. The illustrations are soft and beautiful and go perfectly with the story. They show what Nora thinks is going on in her mind - what she is imagining, and then shows what really is going on. I love that Nora paints her toenails waiting for the rain and one of her crew mates (her little brother) has to leave to take a nap! I won't give away the ending, but you will probably figure it out! ;)**NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for and honest review**
I absolutely love the story line in this brand new children's book! I know one time my kids and I reenacted the "Jonah" Bible story which reminded me of this story.As a parent it is exciting to hear or see your child retell or react a story they have heard, and even more proud when it is a Bible Story. Nora is an adorable girl who is pretending to be Noah and even though she does not do it exact her imagination runs wild with the story and her innocence shines through.My kids both enjoyed the story and the pictures inside. My daughter is very familiar with Noah's Ark and she loved seeing Nora trying to be Noah. I think I might find her doing a similar thing this spring when we have the spring rains.This is a must read for any Parent, Grandparent, or Sunday School Teacher.
Our Nora adores this book, and asks to read it every night! The illustrations are wonderful - she loves naming each animal. The text is sweet and fun. We can't get enough!
Perfect book to read to my granddaughter Nora. Describes our reality relative to cultural fables in a kind friendly and familiar environment. Makes sense to a child.
LOVED this book! My granddaughter has the same name, so that made it very special! It is adorable and such a neat parallel with Noah's Ark!
