I am so excited about N is for Noah: Trusting God and His Promises.  This book is by Ken and Mally Ham.  I have heard so much about Ken Ham, and what he believes, but have never read any of his books before.  I was not disappointed in this book and I really think you will like it a lot, as well.

 

Details on the N is for Noah

N is for Noah: Trusting God and His Promises is a hard back, spiral bound easel book that is 10×10 3/4 in size.  The book is well made and the pages are very sturdy and thick, making it very easy for children to look through on their own.  There are 112 pages of beautiful illustrations that are done by Jeff Albrecht.  The illustrations are bright and vibrant, catching your attention right from the start. Along with the beautiful pages, is a rhyming story that takes your from A-Z about the story of Noah and the Ark. Not only does this book teach your children about trusting God and His promises, it talks about why God sent a world wide flood, how people acted towards Noah while he was building the Ark and what happened when the flood ended.

Not only does this book tell the story of Noah and the Ark in a fun way that the kids will enjoy and understand, it also has structured learning for the kids.  Your kids will be encouraged with Biblical concepts and verses.  This book is shaped in an easel-book format.  On one side is a picture and a rhyming sentence for the child to see), on the other side (for the parent/teacher), you have the rhyming sentence, starting point, Bible bits, Let’s Talk, Always Remember, Stuff to Do and a Quick Review sections for you to read and engage the child with.  In the back of the book, there are sections that help you break down the  “letters” even more.  You have the Overview,  Directed Discussions, Core Truth Takeaway and Quick Review Activity. You can even find downloadable coloring pages for this story at www.nlpg.com/nisfornoah_clrpgs.

My Thoughts On This

While this book is geared towards younger children, I think it is a great read for families.  My kids are 7, 9 and 15 and they all enjoyed it.  Yes, even the 15 year old got something out of it as well.  They liked how they took each letter in the alphabet and rhymed the story.  They loved the illustrations that corresponded with the lessons.  Most of all, I loved that I was able to read the story to the kids and all of us understand a little better about the story of Noah and the Ark.

I also think this book would be great for any Sunday School, Homeschool Co-op class or a family to do during the evenings.   You have little mini lessons on each page that you read.  You could do a page or a couple of pages a day and have a great discussion with your children.

Don’t forget about the Book and Treat Facebook Party coming up tomorrow night, August 27th, 2013.  We will be having it on the Master Books Facebook Page at 8:00pm CDT.  The Treat is Sight and Sound Theaters.  They will be giving out a copy of their show “Noah” to one person.  Other gifts will also be given away.  I hope to see you there!!
