All Afloat on Noah's Boat!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. When the animals on Noah's ark get fractious, Noah suggests a talent show. The frogs hop, the toucans peck, the elephants spray, but it's the caterpillars that dazzle the others by turning into butterflies. This very loose interpretation of the Bible story is marred by clunky, forced rhyme. The cartoon art is busy but energetic, featuring brightly colored backgrounds and varied perspectives.
