E-I-E-I-O

His neighbors thought that he was odd

E-I-E-I-O

With a snicker, snicker here,

And a snicker, snicker there,

Here a snicker, there a laugh!

They really should have built a raft!

Good ol' Noah obeyed God

E-I-E-I-O"

Little kids tend to like the same story read to them, over and over and over again until their beleaguered folks have the thing memorized! Parents tired of the same old, same old will perk up when they see this zippy new children's book from comics Mark Lowry and Martha Bolton. Good Ol'Noah Had an Ark isn't your father's Bible storybook -- it's a family party waiting to happen!

This raucous rendering of Noah's story can either be read or sung, depending on the mood of the participants. Set to the irresistibly catchy tune of "Old McDonald Had a Farm, "Good Ol'Noah will have moms, and dads, and kids belting out the silly lyrics one day and reading the lulling rhymes on another. Starring Mark Lowry as Good Ol' Noah (his photo is superimposed on four-color illustrations), with special guests the giraffes, monkeys, aardvarks et al., parents will get as much of a kick out of the illustrations as the kids will.
