Noah’s trying to build an ark, but with the snakes quacking, the beavers crowing, and the pigs howling, he can’t even hear himself think, much less make a giant boat.

Reviews

The Horn Book Guide

“The vibrant figures in the illustrations suit the lively text, especially when the critters make the ‘wrong’ sounds (e.g., snakes saying ‘quack’).” —The Horn Book Guide

Kirkus Reviews

“The amusing, understated text has the flavor of a traditional folktale, well complemented by Rogé’s naïve paintings with flattened perspective and muted colors. The illustrations have a dark, moody atmosphere with gray skies and driving rain, offset by the folksy charm of the animals.”
Kirkus Reviews

Booklist

“There are a lot of Bible-themed picture books out there, but few will be as popular as this humorous offering. . . The stylized, brushstroked paintings are embellished with highlighted sound effects and subtle comic expressions. Inventive and sure to elicit a boatload of giggles.”
