Aidan is regularly listening to the Old Testament stories this year, starting with creation. We read a story one day, the next day he retells it back to me, while I write it down, and then he illustrates his story on the third day. At the end of the year he'll have a nice book, all his own, of the Old Testament. Not long ago we were reading about Noah and the Ark. Somehow he had it in his mind that Noah must have needed some help building that ark. When he retold his story, this is what he said:
God told Noah to build the Ark. The people were being bad. Noah was good and listened to God. Beavers have good teeth. They could bite your finger off! They helped Noah build the ark because they're good animals.
So here is Aidan's illustration. Notice there are several beavers, even babies. There's a river surrounding the hard-at-work beavers, and very tall grass. If you think he forgot all about the Ark, you're mistaken. Look at that teeny tiny yellow thing at the bottom of the page - that's the Ark. LOL! OK, so it's not all in proportion, but it's all there, and he's got the basic idea. Very funny.
