Noah's ark

Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), Noah's Ark is one of nine books from the Cambridge Reading non-fiction strand.

This strand has been designed to introduce young readers to information retrieval skills.

This book retells the story of Noah and the Ark. It draws upon rich illustrative sources to show how artists have represented the story in many different media over the centuries.

Many of the works of art reflect the artists' own times, showing details of contemporary life, as well as intriguing ideas about what the Ark and its cargo of animals might have looked like.

Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to offer children a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.
