Noah's Ark

Jane Ray
(Orchard)
978-1852139476, RRP £5.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Noah's Ark (Orchard Paperbacks)" on Amazon

The text of the story comes from the Authorised version of the Bible, the verses carefully selected to give just enough support for a tableau of bold and brilliant paintings. Jane Ray's Jehovah is a Ra-like deity, shown on the first page gloomily surveying rascalities which include modern assaults against the natural world. The rest of the book provides a celebration of that world; the ark and the pages across which it floats are crammed with living riches and the fruits of harvest. When Jehovah sets the rainbow covenant in the sky, his flaming corona perhaps suggests 'the fire next time' but the story ends with blissful panoramas of liberation. This beautiful book is recommended for all age groups.
