Publisher Description
A long time ago, the people of the world were not treating each other kindly. God was very sad, and so he decided to send a flood to cover the entire world. However, one man, Noah, and his family were very good people, so God told Noah to build a big boat and to gather two of every kind of animal to be kept safe in the boat when the floor arrived. Noah did as God commanded and soon he, his family, and all the animals were drifting in the flood waters. After many weeks of waiting, the flood went away and Noah, his family, and the animals were able to again return to land. God set a rainbow in the sky, promising Noah that he would never again flood the earth.

Noah's Ark retellings can be tricky: how to balance the story's assurance of God's love with the near-total destruction of humanity? After an early scene of "very bad" humans looting and fighting, a sad God pictured as a swirling cloud being tells Noah that he will flood the Earth, though the implications go unstated. Dardik's vividly colored and elaborately patterned cartoons work overtime to keep the mood upbeat; Noah's family and the ark's animals always have their eyes blissfully closed, as if in a perpetual state of prayer, and they look remarkably calm about the unfolding flood. An eye-catching adaptation, but one likely to prompt questions. Ages 3 6.
