here’s what
The Critics say...
(Well, actually, my mum)
Gaffaws of laughter
(no words, only sound effects--she is unable to speak because she's laughing too hard)
So of course the book is dedicated to ...
"My Old MacMother"
who else?
no, but seriously...
“A sing-along story that will have the Sunday school kids rolling on the floor with laughter”

JUST LANDED!
sailing into shops
all over the land!
by Sally Lloyd-Jones
illustrated by Jill Newton
ISBN: 978-0060557171
Old MacNoah Had An Ark
a riotous romp through Noah’s Ark (to the tune of Old MacDonald)
OLD MACNOAH HAD AN ARK
After building his ark and loading it with animals, Old MacNoah must deal with mealtimes and their aftermath on the high seas!
Move over Old MacDonald! The rain is falling fast on Noah, and this time the animals refuse to stay quiet.
With an Oink! Oink! here and a Quack! Quack! there, everyone piles into Old MacNoah’s ark to escape the rising water.
(ARK DISCLAIMER: Sally Lloyd-Jones has never sailed in an actual Ark herself but she’s pretty sure–with all those days at sea–the animals must have sung songs to pass the time and probably if this song had been invented back then, it would have been their favorite.)

SIDE EFFECTS:
singing, dancing, happy bouncing, alarming silliness and strange animals noises
here’s what
the publisher says...
“The flood (how could they resist?) of funny sound effects gives this favorite Bible story a twist that’s perfect for sing-along fun.”
here’s what I say...
“Everyone knows Old MacDonald’s Song but not everyone knows Noah’s version... which I should think must be the original version, don’t you?”
