A host of animals, in all shapes and sizes, parades across the colorful pages of this brilliantly illustrated picture book.  Join cow and moose, hare and goose, sheep and ox, bee and fox, and the myriad other creatures who climb on the Ark with Noah and his kin to escape the Great Flood.

Safe aboard the huge vessel, they watch as the rain waters cover the world.  When at last the flood subsides, they return to dry land, and under the gentle sign of the rainbow, they make their peace with Lord, and begin life all over again.

With his own translation of a seventeenth-century Dutch poem, and his delightfully detailed illustrations, Peter Spier has lent his special magic to the age-old story of Noah's Ark.  The result is a book that will be greeted as an old friend and quickly taken into the heart.
