The ark was going to be SO big that there would be room for 2 of every kind of animal in the whole world and 7 of certain types of animals and all of Noah’s family. When everyone was inside the ark, God closed the door. Listen. I hear something!

SONG: “Noah” from In the Beginning album. (Click on song title to hear a clip.)
BOOK: Noah (No one illustrates the actual Noah story more accurately then Wendy Francisco. “There are so many great children’s books out there that illustrate the ark as more of a tug boat. I wanted kids to understand the magnitude of what God did through Noah.” With creative story telling lyrics, Mary Rice Hopkins sings/writes in detail the entire story of Noah, the ark, and Noah’s faithfulness to God.)
