Whether you’re a fan of Noah or not (how can you not be with Steve Carrell playing him in Evan Almighty?), I’m pretty sure all kids are a fan of animals at one time or another. And of course, if you have a child like my daughter, it’s obscure animals that are terribly difficult to find at any toy store.

So when we were asked to check out Noah’s Pals, we were more than happy to oblige. Along with Noah and his incredible ark, there are an amazing number of endangered, vulnerable, and common pals, many of which (at least on the endangered list) I had never heard of.

If you’ve got a little one (geared for ages 5 and up) that loves animals, or large boats made to withstand a lot of days of rain (heh), then you’ll definitely want to hear what our bloggers have to say about these.
