Janisch, Heinz

K-3
Translated by Rosemary Lanning.
Illustrated by
Lisbeth Zwerger.
Janisch's foreboding yet lyrical text is aptly matched by Zwerger's delicate muted illustrations. Eerie scenes of destruction are balanced by pictures of beautifully detailed insects and animals shown filing toward the Ark and, on some pages, as figures in a hand-lettered catalog. The evocative and bewitching interpretation effectively maintains the awe-filled and reverential tone of the Bible story.
