Synopsis
The age-old story, now made even more appealing to kids thanks to a fresh, imaginative design.
In come the animals ten by ten
Five black roosters, five black hens
Now Noah says, “Go shut that door
The rain’s started droppin’ and we can’t take more.”
The oft-told tale of Noah and his ark has never looked so attractive. First, an acetate cover conveys the feeling of rain sheeting down with a remarkable sense of depth and reality. Then, as one page follows another, there’s an animated quality to the animals proceeding into the ark: it’s like watching a movie. When the text says, “Here come the animals two by two; Hippopotamus and kangaroo,” readers will see those two creatures starting on their way in, followed by two big cats and a bumblebee. Turn the page, and now the hippos and kangaroos have gone midway up the ramp, and giraffes and goats have joined the parade. Turn the page again: the hippos and kangaroos have entered the ark, the giraffes are closer to their goal, and flocks of birds are now flying right behind.
Fun to read, fun to sing, and fun to look at.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-The most striking aspect of this illustrated musical version of Noah's story is its format. While the verses describe how the animals line up to board the ark, the book unfolds until the procession stretches to more than six feet. The lengthening frieze reveals darkening clouds and hints at impending rain, which begins to fall in the last two panels. These sections depict people fleeing from the city in panic while the verse concludes that "we can't take more." The images offer an unusual and unsettling ending to a humorous array of cartoonlike animals. Barbara Reid's rendition of the same song in Two by Two (Scholastic, 1993) not only offers more interesting and unusual illustrations, but also conveys the complete Noah story rather than a single episode.
