Noah thought that creatures were the best friends in the land.When one would want to live with him, he'd think the idea grand. Themes in this book include worry, adapting to a new situation, problem-solving, and care for animals. Noah Zark adores living with his animal friends, and they love living with him. Whether Noah wants to work a puzzle or play in the yard, there's always an animal pal nearby to join in the fun. Noah's parents, on the other hand, know their house is too crowded. Goats are on the roof and bears are looking for snacks in the fridge! The Zarks must come up with a solution that is best for everyone. But what will they do? When his parents build a giant boat (ala Noah's ark) in the backyard for the animals to share, Noah starts to worry. Will his friends forget about him and never want to play? Or will this new home be a place where they can all share fun and games together, even better than before? Noah Zark shows young readers that while we may worry about change, it doesn't have to be scary or bad to try new things. A change may be just what we need to make our lives more enjoyable, simpler, and yes, maybe even a little less crowded. Filled with bright, joyful illustrations, this endearing story of a boy who loves animals - and the animals who love him - sends a positive message about the power of creative problem-solving and the ability to adapt and grow with the help of those we care about most.
