When Noah is calling the animals to the Ark they begin to argue about who is the best. That is all except the dove who tells them that they are all unique. For this reason Noah chooses her to be the messenger.

Type: Intermediate Picture Book, Genre: Fanstasy, Illustrations: Painted

This books is a great book for students to know that they are all unique and that they each bring something special to the world. This book can be used to teach students not to be boastful and brag about what you can do.

Great

for students in 1st-5th grade.

Genre: Folklore
This story teaches its readers that boasting about yourself is not the way that people are chosen. It tells of all the animals on Noah's ark talking themselves up in hopes to be chosen to go find a branch after the rain stops causing a flood. Noah finally chooses a humble dove at the

end of the book that gently tells Noah what he believes to be true about God and all of his creation.
