Lunge-Larson, Lise. Noah's Mittens. Illustrated by Matthew Trueman. Houghton Mifflin: 2006. ISBN: 9780618329502. Ages 3-9.
Lunge-Larson takes a creative view on the Bible story Noah's Ark. As the ark sails with two two of every animal, chaos occurs. All of the animals are going wild and they are getting very hot, mainly the sheep. When Noah checks on the sheep, he shaves them. But what should he do with the wool? Noah gets to use it when God introduces his newest creation, snow. The illustrations help paint a picture for the reader, but some were random and didn't flow with the book. This would be a very good story for late night at night stories to share with children who are learning about the Bible. It is a well written book.
