1: Lovely book about friendship and compassion
While my 6 year old found this book "sad," we both enjoyed the true story of a flood in Vermont and how the community banded together to help each other. A good, gripping read aloud!

2: Everything else is just gravy...
I picked up Nora's Ark at our local library to read to my 6 and 8 year old children. I assumed it would be a sweet little story, about a family dealing with a flood; and it is. But it is so much more than that. It is about neighbors, and the bonds we share with them. It is about bravery, strength of character, and love. It is based on a real-life event, The Vermont Flood of 1927. It snuck right up on me, and at the end of the story, my 6 year old looked up and said, "Mommy, you're crying." The watercolor illustrations by Emily Arnold McCully are very nice too.
