Synopsis
A sturdy ark, animals two by two, and rain for forty days and forty nights—Lucy Cousins transforms these familiar biblical images to give them rich meaning for young children. She presents a visual feast of pink flamingos, green alligators, great gray elephants, and, of course, Noah, from his snowy white beard right down to his brown sandals. In her striking illustrations this ancient tale becomes immediately accessible to even the very young. Writing in the same bold and simple style that characterizes her artwork, Lucy Cousins makes the age-old story of Noah and his ark fresh and new and altogether irresistible.

About the Author
Lucy Cousins, the creator of Maisy the mouse, says she wanted to retell the story of Noah's ark because she loves drawing animals. "It's a wonderful story to illustrate because it's the epitome of all animal stories. And it's a story that all kids love and should know."
Reviews
In PW's words, "The familiar gathering... before the great flood takes on a gentle and joyous tone as expressed by Cousins's brief and simple sentences and by her naive painted figures." Ages 2-up.
